Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?

The recessive trait isn't present when the dominant form of the trait is there. Whenever a trait is dominant trait is present it ALWAYS takes over the recessive one. the law of Dominance


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.


In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?

Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?

A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.

What does it mean to have a dominant trait?

In genetics, a trait is considered dominant when it determines a phenotype over a recessive trait. For example, AA is crossed with AA to make Aa, Aa, Aa, and Aa. If "A" is the dominant trait and "a" is the recessive trait, then since this cross produces heterozygous progeny, they will all show the dominant phenotype. A dominant trait is just how it sounds, it dominates over recessive traits when they are both present.


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.


A living thing with a dominant and recessive gene for a trait?

A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.


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.


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 a recessive trait?

A recessive trait is a trait that is not dominant, and is not really seen in ones phenotype.


An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?

It should be a dominant allele--a dominant allele's trait will be expressed over the recessive allele's trait.
