Why are some traits not inherited?
Some of these traits are recessive and are not actually seen but are there.
What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
Why are some traits more common than others?
Characteristics that are more common than others are dominant. Recessive traits are not expressed when paired with a dominant trait.
What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
What genotypic condition must be present for a recessive trait to be visible?
if the ratio had more recessive traits, like if you made a punnit square and you saw that there were more of the recessive traits (BB bb bb bb) then you know that the most common trait is the recessive one "bb" (considered as homozygous recessive ( i think))
Traits determined by recessive genes located on the x chromosomes are said to be?
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
Are dominate traits always the most common?
Yes, there is no possibility of a Recessive trait being dominant.
What do organisms pass to their offspring?
They pass on traits. There are recessive traits and dominant traits. The dominant trait is normally the one that overpowers recessive
Which traits oberved were dominant and recessive?
In genetics, dominant traits are those that are expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while recessive traits are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele and no dominant allele present. Dominant traits often mask recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.
Why would recessive traits be more common on boys than girls?
Only sex-linked recessive traits on the X sex chromosome are more common in males. This is because males receive only one X chromosome, so they cannot be heterozygous for a trait on the X chromosome. Females inherit two sex chromosomes, so they can be heterozygous, receiving both a dominant and a recessive allele on the X chromosomes.
Why do some human traits show a large number of phenotypes?
i don't know but i think it is because of the recessive and dominate traits.
Why do recessive trail are more common in some cases?
They're not necessarily, but they can be. When a recessive trait is more common, it likely because it was advantageous to have that trait so the species evolved to have more of it in the gene pool. Also, since dominant traits are expressed over recessive traits, natural selection has more of an effect on them.
