What else can I help you with?
What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
What is a reccesive gene?
A recessive gene is a gene that is only expressed if an individual has two copies of it, one inherited from each parent. In the presence of another dominant gene, the recessive gene's trait is not expressed.
Will a A trait controlled by a dominant gene be expressed even if the instructions of the corresponding gene in the other half of the pair are different?
Yes, if a trait is controlled by a dominant gene, it will be expressed regardless of the instructions of the corresponding gene in the other half of the pair. Dominant genes only require one copy to be expressed in the phenotype.
A gene that may not show up even though it is there is said to be-?
recessive. This means that the trait coded by the gene will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of the gene, one from each parent. If an individual only inherits one copy of the gene, the dominant gene will be expressed instead.
What is a dominant gene and what is a recessive gene?
Recessive gene is one which is supressed and do not show their characteristics and dominant gene is one which show their characteristics for example if a father has brown hair and mother has black hairs and if their son has black hair then in this case gene which has characteristics of black is dominant and the other which has characteristics of brown colour is recessive
Is an expressed gene turned off?
No. If a gene is expressed, it is turned on.
What does recessive mean as it relates to genes?
A recessive gene is one that is only expressed if an individual has two copies of that gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is not visible unless an individual inherits two copies, one from each parent. If an individual inherits only one copy of a recessive gene, the dominant gene will be expressed instead.
Which parts of a gene are expressed as protein?
Coding sequences of a gene are expressed as protein
What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
What is a reccesive gene?
A recessive gene is a gene that is only expressed if an individual has two copies of it, one inherited from each parent. In the presence of another dominant gene, the recessive gene's trait is not expressed.
Will a A trait controlled by a dominant gene be expressed even if the instructions of the corresponding gene in the other half of the pair are different?
Yes, if a trait is controlled by a dominant gene, it will be expressed regardless of the instructions of the corresponding gene in the other half of the pair. Dominant genes only require one copy to be expressed in the phenotype.
Individual that has one copy of a expressed gene has a genotype known as?
Heterozygous.
A gene that may not show up even though it is there is said to be-?
recessive. This means that the trait coded by the gene will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of the gene, one from each parent. If an individual only inherits one copy of the gene, the dominant gene will be expressed instead.
What does it mean for a gene to be off?
How is a gene not expressed
Chromosome that has both dominant and recessive gene?
A chromosome can have both dominant and recessive genes for a specific trait, but only one gene will be expressed in an individual. The dominant gene will be expressed over the recessive gene in a heterozygous individual. This is known as the principle of dominance in genetics.
What is a dominant gene and what is a recessive gene?
Recessive gene is one which is supressed and do not show their characteristics and dominant gene is one which show their characteristics for example if a father has brown hair and mother has black hairs and if their son has black hair then in this case gene which has characteristics of black is dominant and the other which has characteristics of brown colour is recessive
What gene that is always expressed and will produce a trait?
The gene that is always expressed and will produces a trait is a genetic statistic. This statistic is what is created when the gene is dominant.
