Yes. So do men. I believe it may be safe to say that any sexually reproducing individual will have at least some recessive genes. Women have 2 copys of the X chromosome, men have one copy of the Y chromosome and a single copy of the X chromosome. The Y chromosome contains much less information than the X chromosome. One of the genes on the Y chromosome is SRY this single gene prompts the body to develope into a male when the embyo is in the womb. In this case men have the gene and women don't have the gene, rather than women having a recessive copy of it. There are some XY women who have the SRY gene but lack a different gene which codes for the androgen receptors.

∙ 13y agoAlmost everyone has a recessive gene in them. The only people who don't are people who since the begining of time have had ancestors with all dominant genes. So if your parents show a recessive phenotype (such as blonde hair or blue eyes), you may not show it but you are a carrier of a recessive gene.

Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?
if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)
Which of these is a gene that does not express itself and is concealed by the presence of another gene of the same trait?
A hypostatic gene is one that can by hidden by other genes.
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
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 is the different between dominant and recessive?
Dominant trait is the one which is expressed when the homologous pair of genes controlling it are either homozygous or Hetrozygous dominant; on the other hand recessive trait has both genes to be homozygous recessive. in fact trait is controlled by the form of genes. Dominant gene expresses even when it is in the company of recessive gene. However recessive gene expresses only when in company of recessive gene

How do you know if the recessive gene will be the recessive in the offspring?
If the recessive gene is present in both of the parents.
A gene is recessive when?
Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.
Is leukemia a recessive gene?
recessive.
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your?
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your genotype.
What is an organism that has a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene?
dogs have a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene
How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
What is a good sentence for recessive gene?
A recessive gene is one that does not show outwardly unless the organism has two copies of it. If you have only one copy of a recessive gene, your appearance is that of the dominant gene. Here are some sentences.Red hair is caused by a recessive gene.The baby had two recessive genes for Tay-Sachs disease, and did not live.You cannot tell if someone has a recessive gene just by looking at them.
Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?
The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
What is a sentence with the word recessive?
The color of one's eyes are supposedly determined by a recessive gene.
Which of these is a gene that does not express itself and is concealed by the presence of another gene of the same trait?
A hypostatic gene is one that can by hidden by other genes.
