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.

Will an organism with a recessive allele for a particular form of a trait will always exhibit that form?

No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.


True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?

In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed


What is only way a recessive trait will be expressed?

if its 2 recessive allels together.


These alleles show their effect on the phenotype whenever they are present in the genotype?

Dominant alleles carry traits or characteristics that will show no matter what. Recessive alleles carry traits where you must be homozygous for the recessive trait in order for it to show. Dominant alleles are represented by capital letters (EX: R or M) Recessive alleles are represented by lower case letters (EX: r or m) In order for a dominant allele to show, you can have either RR or Rr, since it is dominant. However, in order for a recessive allele to show, you MUST have rr. Hope this helps!


Is the following statement true or false only pea plants that have two recessive alleles for short stems will be short?

False. Pea plants can have short stems if they have two recessive alleles for short stems, but they can also have short stems if they have a combination of dominant and recessive alleles that result in a short stature.

Is a pair of corresponding chromosomes is homozygous true or false?

The corresponding pair of chromosomes may homozygous as well as heterozygous, depending on the presence of dominant and recessive genes.

What genotype will all the offspring have?

That depends. Are the parents both homozygous dominant for the dominant genes for a particular trait or are they heterozygous and homozygous(dominant or recessive). See you have to be more picky about the questions you ask. A badly asked question gets a very sophisticated and complicated response to counteract the false accusations of ones troubled question asking skills. That good enough for ya.


Is this statement true or false Mendel found that the dominant trait allows the expression of the recessive trait?

False. Mendel's experiments demonstrated that dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in heterozygous individuals. This means that the dominant trait is expressed while the recessive trait remains hidden. Thus, the recessive trait does not get expressed when a dominant trait is present.

Is this true or false The allele AA is homozygous dominant?

True. The allele AA represents a homozygous dominant genotype, meaning that both alleles at a particular gene locus are the same and both are dominant. In this case, the individual has two copies of the dominant allele A.


True or false dominant traits are represented by a lower case letter and recessive traits are represented by an upper case letter?

False. Dominant traits are typically represented by uppercase letters while recessive traits are represented by lowercase letters.


Did Gregor Mendel find that the dominant trait prevents the expression of the recessive trait?

False..............

Is the following sentence true or false all genes show simple patterns of dominant and recessive alleles?

False. Blood type genes have two dominant alleles (A and B), and one recessive (O). When a person gets one A allele and one B allele, they then have the blood type AB. Both are expressed equally. In other genes, a dominant allele might not be completely dominant, allowing the recessive allele to be partially expressed.
