A recessive trait will be expressed when there is no dominant allele in the genotype for that trait. In a Mendelian trait, where one gene with one dominant and one recessive allele governs a trait, a recessive trait will be expressed when the individual's genotype for that trait is homozygous recessive, meaning that both of the individual's alleles for that trait are recessive.

∙ 13y agoRecessive traits will be shown when the organism is an xx combination, instead of an XX, or Xx. Perhaps my crudely drawn punnet square will be a better illustration
X x
X XX Xx
x Xx xx <-- Recessive traits are shown when this is achieved

∙ 9y agoThe recessive trait in an organism can be seen when both the allelic genes governing the trait are in homozygous recessive condition. Also if an organism is grown from haploid cells, as in case of haploid plants raised from pollen culture, the recessive trait becomes evident. In other words, in the absence of its dominant counterpart, a recessive trait is shown.

All individuals that show a recessive trait are?
recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait
What the allele that is hidden?
i think the answer your lokking for is recessive Recessive is when you have a trait in your genome but it doesn't show in your physical appearance
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?
False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.
A trait that requires one allele in order to in order to show up in the phenotype?
Recessive traits require two recessive alleles.
What does it mean when a trait is recessive?
The principle of excessiveness is defined as the explanation of why one trait will not show over another. If a trait is recessive it will not show when a dominant trait is present.
When a trait seems to disappear or doesnt show up often?
Recessive Trait
What is the only way a recessive trait will be expressed?
Breed/use only organisms showing the recessive trait for starters. If one of the parents or progenitor lines show the dominant trait then don't use their offspring. If the offspring of one of the oranisims show the dominant trait then remove both the parent of this offspring and this offspring showing the dominant trait from your program.

Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?
bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
Will an offsping show a recessive trait if only one of its parents has the gene for that trait?
No
A recessive trait is one that?
doesn't show up
What trait that may not show when an animal carries it but which can be passed on to its offspring and perhaps show there is called what kind of trait?
This is called a Recessive trait
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
How can alleles be?
Alleles can either be recessive or dominant. Dominant alleles produce a dominant trait which is normally seen, whereas although the recessive allele is present, the recessive trait is not normally visible. However, in cases of codominance and complete dominance the dominant trait does not completely hide the recessive trait and it can show through.
