What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
Can a baby be born with b rh- if parents are a rh plus and b rh plus?
Yes. Everyone carries a pair of genes for every trait (eyes, hair, even blood type). One is dominant and one is recessive.One of these parents likely a carried the B-Neg blood type on a recessive gene and it was expressed as a dominant trait in the baby.
When offspring show a blend of the parents traits one allele is dominant over the other?
The results in the offspring hinge on the genetic make up of the parents. Each expressed trait is either the result of a dominant or recessive phenotype. The relative dominance or recessiveness of the alleles doesn't change only the rate at which they are expressed based on the allele present for each obseerved trait in the parents.
Why was only one of the parents characteristics for a trait expressed while the other seemed to be lost?
The one that seemed to be lost was actually a recessive trait, which could turn up again in the next generation.
What in term of applied to the trait that is expressed irregardless of the second allele?
The term applied to the trait that is expressed in regardless of the second allele is dominant. In contrast, the term recessive refers to a trait that is expressed when the second allele is identical.
If both parents are carriers what will the child be?
When a recessive trait is inherited from both parents, it will be expressed. If the trait is hemophilia, the child will be a hemophiliac.
What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
What is a dominate trait?
Dominant trait is a genetics term. A dominant trait is one which will be expressed if one of the parents has the gene for that trait. A recessive trait is one that will be expressed only if both parents carry the trait.
What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
If both of your parents have a trait are you guaranteed to also inherit that trait?
No it is most likely but it is not guaranteed. Both of my parents don't have widows peaks yet i have a widows peak.
What trait is is expressed when two diffrent genes for the same trait are present?
A dominant trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present.
Can a baby be born with b rh- if parents are a rh plus and b rh plus?
Yes. Everyone carries a pair of genes for every trait (eyes, hair, even blood type). One is dominant and one is recessive.One of these parents likely a carried the B-Neg blood type on a recessive gene and it was expressed as a dominant trait in the baby.

The relative dominance or recessiveness of the alleles doesn't change only the rate at which they are expressed based on the allele present for each obseerved trait in the parents.
When neither allele is dominant what are they expressed as?
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
What is difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
A recessive trait is a trait that is not shown or expressed physically but is retained within the persons genes, whereas a dominant trait is a trait which opresses the recessive trait and is prodominantly shown or expressed physically. For example it is possible for two red-haired parents, both with recessive dark haired genes, to have a dark haired child. they must both have the recessive gene or the dominant gene of red - hair will be expressed in the child
What do you call the physical trait that is displayed?
It is called an expressed trait.
When neither allele is dominant (they are both expressed)?
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
