When two recessive alleles are inherited, the trait associated with those alleles is observed because there is no dominant allele to mask its expression. This results in the individual displaying the recessive trait.
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
The trait received is recessive.
The trait received is recessive.
An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.
The best example possible; blood types!
The trait received is recessive.
Even though there are more than two alleles, an individual can inherit only two, one from the mother and one from the father.
ALD can be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait (requiring two alleles, one from each parent) and as an X-linked trait.
