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'.

∙ 13y agoits not heterozygous if both are recessive its called homozygous
but it can also be a heterozygous trait if it has 2 different genotypes ( the hereditary traits)
like for tallness its T t
______
T TT Tt
T TT Tt so the Tt is a heterozygous trait

∙ 13y agoa dominant heterozygous appears in the genotype,that trait will be evident in the phenotype

∙ 15y agoPeople who are heterozygous for a recessive trait do not display the trait but are often described as "carriers" because of their ability to pass the trait on to future generations.

A trait that is masked by a dominant trait is called?
DNAactually it is not DNA at all, a dominant trait, masks a recessive trait.
What does it mean if there is two different alleles for a trait?
The trait could show up in two different forms. Alleles are individual units that determine what trait will be expressed in an offspring. Alleles exist for most traits such as hair color or wing size. Having two alleles simply means that the trait can be expressed in different variation. One trait can have several different alleles.
What is carrier?
1.a career(sociology) is your choice of occupation and your course of progress through life. 2.a carrier(biology) is someone that has part of a genetic inheritance(trait) or disease but doesn't have the disease <himself>. here a carrier can either be recessive or dominant to the trait. 3.carriers (physiology) are membrane proteins that complement the structural features of the molecules transported.
What is the definition of homogeneous?
Both alleles of one trait are either dominant or recessive. Not one dominant and one recessive. For example, the homogeneous hair of a cat would have both alleles of that trait be the same, say, BB or bb. NOT Bb.The above definition applies in the field of genetics. More generally, the word means "Of the same or similar nature or kind".
An individual who is homozygous is what?
It is a genetic similarity between two organisms.
What is the condition in which one is heterozygous with a recessive trait?
by ecolocation
What are two possibilities for a specific trait?
Allele The specific trait may be either in homozygous or heterozygous condition. The expression of the trait depends on its dominant or recessive condition.
What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?
The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.
What contains both a dominate trait and a recessive trait?
heterozygous?
An individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring has a 50% chance of the dominate trait (while being heteroygous) and a 50% chance of having the recessive trait ( homozygous recessive).
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.
The allele for the trait that does not appear in a heterozygous individual is?
recessive
What is an organism with one dominant and one recessive gene for a trait?
that organism is a heterozygous one which contain the traits of recessive as well as dominant genes.
What is the genotype of a person who is a carrier of a autosomal recessive trait?
heterozygous
A living thing with a dominant and recessive gene for a trait?
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
