A trait that can only be inherited by a male would be a?
Y-linked (sex-linked) - it would only be found on the Y chromosome - and therefore it is impossible for a female to inherit this.X-linked recessive traits are much more likely to occur in males, but it is still possible for a female to have them (if they have a defective gene on both their X chromosomes).
How would it be possible for the offspring to show a trait that neither of the parents shows physically?
because that persons grandma or grandpa or one of their past realatives could have had that trait
Does a female or male more likely to inherit cystic fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance, therefore, neither male nor female is more likely to inherit the disease. There are four different scenarios that can occur to "pass on" the disease. First, both parents have CF, and in this scenario all offspring would have CF as well. Second, One parent has CF and the other doesn't. This scenario has two subgroups. The parent that does not have CF could either be a carrier or have no CF gene. If the non-CF parent is a carrier then 3 out of 4 children would inherit CF. If the non-CF parent is not a carrier then 2 of 4 children would inherit it. Third, both parents are carriers, and in this scenario 2 of 4 offspring would inherit CF. Fourth, one parent is a carrier and the other is not. This would yield 1 out of 4 offspring inheriting CF. The genes for CF are located on non-sex chromosomes (autosomes) and therefore there is no correlation to Cystic Fibrosis and sex.
Can two negative blood factor parents create a negative blood factor baby?
Rh negative is a recessive trait but if both parents had it, then the children would have it.
Assume that a particular genetic condition in a mammalian species causes an inability to digest starch This disorder occurs with equal frequency in males and females in most cases neither parent is af?
This genetic condition is likely an autosomal recessive trait since it occurs with equal frequency in males and females. If neither parent is affected, it suggests that both parents are carriers of the condition. In order for a child to be affected, they would need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele, one from each carrier parent.
If your parent had a tattoo would you inherit this trait?
If your parent had a tattoo, it does not mean that you would inherit this trait. Tattoos are not inherited they are something that you choose to have done. Just because your parents like tattoos, it doesn't mean that you will like them too.
What is requires for a person to have sickle cell disease?
The person is homozygous for the trait
What is meant by recessive trait when discussing genetics?
When discussing genetics, recessive trait refers to the fact that the offspring of two parents must inherit two copies of a gene to expose the trait. This would mean that both parents must be carriers of said gene in order for their offspring to show a recessive trait.
What would a kitten most likely inherit from its parents?
Probably it fur,eyes,sense of smell , habit of eating and speed
How do you use genotypes in sentence?
A genotype is a group of genes that influence a given trait, whereas a phenotype in this case would be that trait. An example of a sentence using the word "genotype" is "The different genes you inherit from your parents make up the genotype that determines your eye color. "

What would your parents blood types have to be to have a child with O positive blood type?
At least one parent would have to have an RH Positive blood type. Beyond that you can not tell. Because the O trait is a recessive trait, either parent could have A or B or O blood, since, for example, a parent with A blood could have one A gene and one O gene that together would express the A trait. That parent's child could inherit either the A gene or the O gene. The other parent could have B based upon one B gene and one O gene that together would express the B trait. That other parent's child could inherit either the B gene or the O gene. Only if the child of both parents inherited an O gene from each parent, would the child have O blood. As to the RH factor, it is a dominant trait, so that if the child has the trait expressed, it would have to have been in one of the two parents. Hope this helps.
What is the genetics chart?
a genetic chart shows a trait of two parents to show how much of their off spring would have that trait. the trait is dominate and recessive trait.
What trait would be likely to extinct organisms?
An inability to adapt to its environment would likely be the most common.
Which trait would a hero be least likely to have?
A sense of humor
What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?
The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.
How many offspring are likely to have recessive traits if the parents are hybrids?
50%. There are four possible outcomes of the cross:dominant trait from "dad", dominant trait from "mom"recessive trait from "dad", dominant trait from "mom"dominant trait from "dad", recessive trait from "mom"recessive trait from "dad", recessive trait from "mom"Therefore, to get hybrid offspring (one dominant, one recessive), you have a 2 out of 4 chance.
