How did Mendel represent factors for dominant traits?
Mendel represented factors for dominant traits using uppercase letters, such as "A" for dominant alleles. This convention helps distinguish dominant traits from recessive traits, which are represented by lowercase letters.
What are heterozygous also called?
heterozygous genotypes are two different traits which one is reccessive and one is dominant. to be homozygous means that both the traits are either both reccessive or both dominant
How is Dominant and Recessive differ?
Dominant traits are expressed when just one copy of the gene is present, while recessive traits require two copies to be expressed. Dominant traits mask recessive traits when they are both present.
Dominant traits are represented by a lower case letter and recessive traits are represented by an upper case letter?
No. Dominant traits are uppercase and recessive traits are lowercase.
How are dominant and recessive alike?
Both dominant and recessive traits are terms used to describe the inheritance pattern of a specific gene. They are both part of Mendelian genetics, where dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits when present together. Both dominant and recessive alleles can be carried by an individual, with dominant alleles being expressed over recessive ones.
Comapre and contrast dominant and recessive traits?
Dominant traits are characterized by a single copy of a gene being sufficient to express a certain trait, whereas recessive traits require two copies of the gene (one from each parent) for the trait to be observed. Dominant traits typically mask the expression of recessive traits when both are present.
Where both traits are fully expressed?
In cases where both traits are fully expressed, it usually means that an individual has two copies of the dominant allele for one trait and two copies of the dominant allele for the other trait. This results in both traits being visibly present in their physical or physiological characteristics.
What is a traits called that appears when both alleles are presents?
.If this is for an answer in Horse Isle 2, the answer is dominant
What ratio would you expect in a two factor cross if both parents are heterozygous?
In a two-factor cross where both parents are heterozygous for two traits (e.g., AaBb x AaBb), you would expect a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1 in the offspring. This ratio represents the combinations of the dominant and recessive traits for both factors. The 9 represents the offspring with both dominant traits, while the 3s represent the combinations with one dominant and one recessive trait, and the 1 represents the offspring with both recessive traits.
What are some similarities between dominant and recessive traits?
Similarty: They both come from inherited parents.
What gene is always expressed?
Dominant genes will always be expressed however recessive genes would need to be inherited from both parents
What is the term that describes when both alleles show up equally?
homozygous dominant or recessive depending on what gene it is
