What else can I help you with?
What contains both a dominate trait and a recessive trait?
heterozygous?
What will always hide a recessive trait?
A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.
A male will always transmit a recessive trait to his son?
no not always they can transmit a dominate trait also
How can the alleles that control that trait be described?
One dominate, one recessive
An individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring has a 50% chance of the dominate trait (while being heteroygous) and a 50% chance of having the recessive trait ( homozygous recessive).
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
Is six fingers a dominate trait?
Having six fingers is typically considered a polydactyly trait, which is a rare genetic variation. Whether a trait is dominant or recessive depends on the specific genetic mutation causing it. In polydactyly cases, the inheritance pattern can vary, with some being dominant and others being recessive.
If the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait rather than a recessive one could it still be balanced polymorphism?
Yes, if the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait, it could still be a form of balanced polymorphism. In a dominant scenario, individuals with one copy of the allele would express the trait. In this case, heterozygous individuals would have the sickle cell trait, potentially providing a selective advantage against malaria, similar to how carriers of the recessive trait do in the current situation.
Are cats curly ears a dominant and recessive trait?
Curling ears in cats can be caused by a genetic mutation that is a dominant trait. When a cat inherits the gene for curled ears from one parent, it will display the trait. Curled ears are not a recessive trait because even when present with a normal ear gene, the curled ear gene will dominate and be expressed in the cat's appearance.
Are alleles dominant or recessive?
Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.
What does recessive mean in genetic term?
Recessive is the opposite of dominate, not as powerful of an influence on whether or not it will become the chosen trait on a punnett square.
Recessive allele different from dominate allele?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
