How are recessive trait inherited?
What is the relationship between dominant and recessive traits? Think of it this way-- A dominant gene will suppress the expression of a recessive gene. A dominant trait is the expressed result of an organism having either one dominant and one recessive gene for that trait, OR two dominant genes for that trait. For example, brown eye color is normally dominant over blue. A recessive trait is the expressed result of having two recessive genes. For example, you need two recessive genes to get blue eyes. Each parent contributes one gene for each trait. If a parent carries a recessive gene for blue and a dominant gene for brown, that parent will have brown eyes, but can contribute either gene to a child. If the other parent has the same, the child could have two brown eyed parents but have blue eyes. Eye color is a visible trait, but each gene location can be or contribute to a trait not visible to the eye. For example, the genetic disposition to ovarian cancer is not something we can see without genetic testing. A recessive gene can be inherited and remain silent for generations, waiting to pair up with another recessive to be expressed. The knowledge that this does occur is one of the reasons why genetic testing is recommended before having children. There are so-called lethal genes that are recessive and only become problematic when they meet up with another. I know I have simplified things here, but I hope that gets to the core of your question. I recommended taking a look at the OMIM.org website to appreciate how complex this really is. That the unraveling of the miracle of the human genome has been accomplished during the last decade is truly wonderful.
When a trait has more than two alleles is that trait inherited?
If one parent has a dominant trait and and another parent has a recessive trait, then the recessive trait gets hidden while the dominant trait gets shown.
What is it when each gamete gets one gene for each trait?
This is known as the law of segregation in genetics, which states that each parent donates one of two alleles for each gene to their offspring. As a result, each gamete (sperm or egg) receives only one gene for each trait. This process ensures genetic diversity and the random assortment of traits in offspring.
Are the dominant traits always the most common in a population?
it is because that trait is more dominant. when a dominant and a recessive trait combine it is most likely that hte dominant trait will be expressed. it is only when a recessive trait combines with an another recassive trait that hte trait gets expressed(which is rare and not so commonly occuring)
Each gamete gets one gene from each trait?
In meiosis, each gamete receives one allele for each gene, ensuring genetic diversity and random assortment of traits in offspring. This process helps create unique combinations of genes in gametes, leading to variability in traits among individuals.
What type of gene gets blockedout?
Junk DNA gene
How does meiosis ensure that each reproductive cells cells only gets gets one gene for each trait?
Meiosis is a two-step division process that results in four daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This ensures that each reproductive cell only receives one gene for each trait because the genetic material is randomly separated in the first division and then segregated in the second division, leading to genetic diversity in the offspring.
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, a recessive allele is masked or overridden by a dominant allele in a heterozygous individual. This means that the dominant allele's trait will be expressed. In contrast, a recessive allele's trait will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
