Condition of being heterozygous for a recessive trait?
If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.
Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.
What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A RECESSIVE TRAIT APPEAR IN OFFSPRING IF THE GENOTYPE IS HETEROZYGOUS?
No, a heterozygous genotype, which consists of one dominant and one recessive allele (e.g., Aa), will typically express the dominant trait, not the recessive one. However, if both parents are heterozygous (Aa), there's a possibility for offspring to inherit two recessive alleles (aa), which would express the recessive trait. Thus, while a heterozygous individual cannot express a recessive trait, such traits can appear in their offspring if the right allele combinations occur.
Is heterozygeous dominant or reccesive?
Heterozygous means that it carries both dominant and recessive traits (as opposed to homozygous which carries only one) - the dominant trait is the one which is expressed (phenotype). A heterozygous trait can be expressed as Rr - "R" the dominant trait and "r" the recessive trait.
What is an organism with one dominant and one recessive gene for a trait?
An organism with one dominant and one recessive gene for a trait is called a heterozygote. In this case, the dominant gene will be expressed in the organism's phenotype, while the recessive gene will not be expressed unless the organism inherits two copies of the recessive gene.
What is the genotype of a person who is a carrier of a autosomal recessive trait?
The genotype of a person who is a carrier of an autosomal recessive trait is typically heterozygous, meaning they carry one copy of the recessive allele and one copy of the dominant allele for that trait. This would be represented as Aa, with the lowercase "a" representing the recessive allele.
An organism carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for particular trait would be for that trait?
Heterozygous.
When an organism is carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for a particular trait what would be that trait?
Heterozygous
Individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring will all inherit one copy of the dominant allele (from the heterozygous parent) and one copy of the recessive allele (from the homozygous recessive parent). This results in all offspring being heterozygous for the trait.
What does does heterozygous mean?
Heterozygous means that you are carrying 1 dominant trait and 1 recessive trait.If an allelic pair has one dominant and other recessive gene it is called heterozygous.
An organism carrying one dominant and dominant and one recessive allele for a particular trait would be what for that trait?
Heterozygous.
