Is a Straight thumb dominant or recessive?
In terms of genetics, the straight thumb trait is typically considered a dominant trait, while the curved thumb trait is considered recessive. This means that if a person inherits even one copy of the straight thumb gene, they are likely to have a straight thumb.
Can two dominant genes equal a recessive gene?
it could but then u would be deformed but usually it cant
What is dominant recessive?
There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).
What is recessive and dominant mean?
I am pretty sure the recessive and dominant alleles you are talking about are covered in Biology. Recessive alleles are basically alleles that are received from both parent's DNA that are carries, (dd). However, dominant alleles are (exactly what it says) always expressed. If there is one dominant allele and one recessive allele the dominant allele overpowers the recessive. (DD) and (Dd)overpowers (dd).
How are dominant and recessive alike?
Both dominant and recessive traits are terms used to describe the inheritance pattern of a specific gene. They are both part of Mendelian genetics, where dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits when present together. Both dominant and recessive alleles can be carried by an individual, with dominant alleles being expressed over recessive ones.
What are the two terms for having matching alleles for a certain trait?
The two terms for having matching alleles for a certain trait are "homozygous dominant" (two dominant alleles) and "homozygous recessive" (two recessive alleles).

What is dominant in cats if bobtails are recessive?
If bobtails are recessive in cats, then the normal tail trait would be considered dominant. This means that a cat with at least one normal tail allele will display the normal tail phenotype, while only cats with two recessive bobtail alleles will exhibit the bobtail phenotype. In genetic terms, dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits when both are present.

Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.

What terms are opposites in biology?
In biology, terms that are often considered opposites include "autotroph" and "heterotroph." Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food from inorganic substances, typically through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophs obtain food by consuming other organisms. Another pair of opposites is "dominant" and "recessive" alleles, where dominant alleles express their traits in the presence of a recessive allele, which only expresses its trait when paired with another recessive allele.
What do the terms dominant and recessive mean?
Dominant refers to a trait that is expressed when present, while recessive refers to a trait that is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. Dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in genetics.
What are the opposites of dominant?
in biology, the opposite is recessive in sexual behavior, the opposite is submissive in some terms, the opposite is rare
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present, but it is overridden by the dominant allele in terms of physical expression. The recessive allele still remains in the genetic makeup of the offspring and can be passed on to future generations.
