Why was only one of the parents characteristics for a trait expressed while the other seemed to be lost?

The one that seemed to be lost was actually a recessive trait, which could turn up again in the next generation.

When offspring show a blend of the parents traits one allele is dominant over the other?
The results in the offspring hinge on the genetic make up of the parents. Each expressed trait is either the result of a dominant or recessive phenotype. The relative dominance or recessiveness of the alleles doesn't change only the rate at which they are expressed based on the allele present for each obseerved trait in the parents.
If you take your face and the features of your husband's face is that going to be the face of your son or daughter?
Not necessarily. Childrens' faces may contain characteristics of the faces of their parents, but also characteristics of other family members as well. What the parents look like however, may have nothing to do with the outcome of the child's appearance at all. It is well dependent upon how the genes are arranged in the DNA sequence. A certain combination of the parents genes in a certain order may dictate a characteristic in facial or other bodily features previously unseen in any portion of the family.

Why is telegony an influence of age of parents not accepted as valid genetic principles?
Why is telegony an influence of age of parents not accepted as valid genetic principles? Telegony is the child's inheritance of the previous mate of the female parent. Inheritance in characteristics is derived directly from the genes of the parents and has therefore have nothing to do with the female mating in the past with other males.

What traits will a baby horse have if both parents are quarter horses?
It really depends... If both parents were pure quarter horses then it will have quarter horse traits. It one parent was trotter/quarter horse, it may show trotting characteristics. In other words if one or both parents were not pure quarter horses, the baby can have characteristics from any species of its parents... probably mostly quarter horse though.

other characteristics on Saturn are it is large
Why does sexual reproduction produce offspring that are not exactly like either of there parents?
The genes passed on by each parent causes a 'mixing' in a way they are expressed. You and your parents do not have exactly the same genes. Your DNA is so unique that it can identify you from every other human.
Why do siblings have similar physical characteristics?
Siblings look-a-like because they all have the same parents. Siblings don't look identical to their parents, they have variation in their characteristics. The same thing happens with plants and other organisms. Unless you have an identical twin. If you have an identical twin, you both have the exact same characteristics. The cell of identical twins makes an exact same copy with the cell. The process is called 'Embryo'.
Are an organism's characteristics determined only by it's genes?
No, an organism's genetically expressed characteristics, or phenotype, may be altered or affected by its environment; in a purely physical connotation, Nature versus Nurture. There are dozens of Cell types yet we are told that all Cells contain the same set of Genes; how can this be? An organism is composed from organs. The characteristics of an organ are determined by the Expression of the genes that are ensconced in its Nucleus. It is highly common that many 'gene products' act as biochemical switches that by their presence, or absence, determine {called determination} wether or not another gene will be 'actively' expressed. This would be 'internal regulation'. The NEW SCIENCE OF EPIGENETICS focuses on the external or environmental molecular switches that effect (the) patterns of gene expression.
What is usually expressed as a fraction?
A rational number, other than an integer, is expressed as a fraction.

What characteristics can you get from your parents?
physical traits: hair color, eye color, height, skin color, etc.Also some of the traits you may not JUST get from your PARENTS... you can get themfrom your aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, even one of the other older generations of ancestors. :]that is true science is easy why ask this questionIt depends what traits they got. Like they have black hair, you get black hair it's all about the genes.
