What is it called when neither trait is dominant over the other?

When talking about cells, there's a DOMINANT trait and a RESSECIVE trait. The DOMINANT is obviously... well, the dominant one. And if you're writing out the traits, the DOMINANT receives a capital letter and the RESSECIVE receives a lowercase letter, which will sometimes be cursive. I hope that helps! =)

∙ 9y agoFirst, there are two kinds of traits in genetics-- dominant and recessive. These refer to the the characteristics inherited by offspring from their parents. A dominant trait is an inherited characteristic that will show up even if only parent's genes contributed to it. A common example of a dominant trait is dark hair: even if only one parent has the gene for dark hair, and the other has the gene for light hair, their child will still tend to have dark hair. In Caucasians, curly hair is a dominant trait; and dimples are a dominant trait that any racial group might have. There is also a birth defect that is dominant: it is called polydactyly (being born with extra fingers or toes).

What is it called when two of a trait are both dominant at the same time?
Codominance. It's the case of AB blood types, for instance. Neither trait is dominant over the other, so both manifest.
What is it called when two forms of a trait are both are dominant at same time?
Codominance. It's the case of AB blood types, for instance. Neither trait is dominant over the other, so both manifest.
A condition where the genes for a given trait are equally strong is called what?
This is called co-dominance, when neither trait is dominant nor recessive to the other one, hence making them equally strong.

Is Lyme disease dominant trait or recessive trait?
Neither. It is a disease passed on by the deer tick. "Dominant" and "Recessive" have nothing to do with it.

A trait which always appears when it is present is called what kind of trait?
It is called a dominant trait

Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
When two alleles for a trait are different?
If you have a heterozygous genotype (X, x), then you would take on the phenotype of the dominant allele. There are some instances where neither trait is fully dominant over the other. This is called incomplete dominance, and usually results in a blending effect of the two traits.
