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.
What is a person with one recessive allele and one dominant allell for a trait called?
Heterozygous.
What is a person who has a dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene?
A person who has one dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene is typically considered to be affected by the condition if the disease is caused by the dominant allele. In this case, the dominant allele's effects will manifest, overshadowing the recessive allele. The individual may not express traits associated with the recessive allele, as the dominant trait takes precedence.
Why is it that a person with an allele for a particular trait may not have a phenotype that shows the trait?
a dominant allele will express its trait , as well as be carried by the person. the word carrier is commonly used for a person who bears an allele which does not express itself(i.e. a recessive gene).
What is the difference between dominant alleles and recessive alleles?
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present, but it is overridden by the dominant allele in terms of physical expression. The recessive allele still remains in the genetic makeup of the offspring and can be passed on to future generations.
What is a recessive genes?
Recessive is a relative term used to describe the relationship to another allele termed the dominant allele. That traits of the recessive allele will only be shown if the person has two copies of the recessive allele. If a dominant allele is present, then the recessive trait will not be shown.
In a heterozygous IA i person which allele is dominant IA or i?
In a heterozygous IAi person, the IA allele is dominant over the i allele. This means that the phenotype will show the IA allele's trait as it masks the expression of the recessive i allele.
How do you use recessive allele in a sentence?
The building blocks of our genes (that make us what we are) are called alleles and these can be either dominant, recessive or codominant - which means they are equally dominant. Now for your sentence: "A typical example of codominance can be found in blood types, where the existence of A as well as B alleles in a person will lead to blood type AB".
What is a genotype with one dominant and one recessive gene?
The genotype of a person with one dominate allele for a gene and one recessive would be expressed as Aa or Yy. You can use any letter you would like except one will be shown as a capital (dominate) and one as a lower case (recessive). This combination is heterozygous for that trait.
A person with a heterozygous gene?
A person with a heterozygous gene has one dominant allele, usually represented by a capital letter, and a recessive allele, which is usually represented with a lowercase letter. So an example of a heterozygous gene would be Rr
