There's not exactly a clear-cut way to answer this.

If someone is homozygous dominant, that means they have two dominant genes, AA for example, and, of course, the dominant phenotype (phenotype just means the physical expression of a trait/gene) will be expressed.

If someone is homozygous recessive, meaning they have two recessive genes, aa, they would then express the recessive gene.

Now, in cases of complete dominance and a person with a heterozygous genotype (Aa), the dominant gene will always show itself, which is probably the answer you were looking for.

Be careful not to generalize too much, it's an easy way to get tripped up on tests.

Are genes located on the autosomal called sex linked genes?

No, genes located on autosomes are not considered sex-linked genes. Sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes (X and Y) and usually show different inheritance patterns in males and females. Autosomes contain genes that are inherited equally by both sexes.


How can an offspring show a trait that is not displayed in either of the parents?

dominant and recessive genes say the mom had black hair and her mom had blond hair and the dad had black hair and his mom had red hair if the baby had red or blond hair the parents had those as recessive genes its all about ancestry and genes. PS I'm an 11 year old middle scholar


What principle does a person with AB blood illustrate?

a person with AB blood group exhibits a genetic principle called "co-dominance" Explanation there are three genes responsible for the four human blood groups i.e. A, B, O and AB. the genes are Ia, Iband Io. Ia and Ib are dominant genes while Iois a recessive gene. if a person has the genotype IaIa or IaIo he/she will exhibit the blood group "A" similarly a person with genotype IbIb or IbIo will show the blood group "B". But a person with genotype IoIo will show the blood group "O"( IoIo is a homozygousrecessive condition ) since Ia and Ib are dominant genes they express themselves in both homozygous dominant (IaIa and IbIb) condition and heterozygous dominant(IaIo and IbIo) condition. but when the genotype of a person becomes IaIb neither of Ia or Ib genes is able to dominate the other. This is when the principle called "co-dominance" is observed in which both the genes Ia and Ib express themselves to give rise to "AB" blood group.hope i could provide a satisfactory answer ! good luck !!


What are the difference between dominant and recessive genes?

Dominant genes will cover up recessive genes. Take a simplified version of eye color for example. Brown is dominant and blue is recessive. Someone might have the allele for both brown and blue, but their eyes will be brown because of the dominent brown gene. If there are two parents that carry the recessive gene, neither will be blue eyed, but they will have a chance of having a blue eyed child if both pass on the recessive gene.


Does a gene pool include the genes of individuals that cannot reproduce?

No, a gene pool consists of all the different alleles and variations of genes within a population of interbreeding individuals. Individuals that cannot reproduce, such as sterile individuals, do not contribute to the gene pool as they do not pass on their genes to the next generation.

Where is evolution headed?

Evolution has no destination. New mutations show up every generation. Unsuccessful genes die out every generation. Successful genes multiply every generation. The environment is always changing, therefore the criteria for which genes are successful is always changing. The rise one one new gene, or the loss of a gene, can itself increase or decrease the value of other genes.

The combination of genes in which a mixture of both traits show is called what?

The combination of genes in which both traits are expressed is called codominance. In codominance, neither gene is dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that shows a mixture of both traits.


Why are genes called dominent?

Each gene has two alleles. When an allele is dominant, it will express the phenotype of that allele. Recessive alleles are only expressed when there are two copies of that allele. Edited answer: Only those genes are called dominant which show their phenotypic expression in an individual.

Is it true that all genes show simple patterns of dominant and recessive allleles?

No, it is not true that all genes show simple patterns of dominant and recessive alleles. When Mendel did his studies on peas, he was lucky in that the genes he worked with showed those patterns. Many genes are much more complex and often involve more than one gene. Many genes show intermediate expressions between dominant and recessive.

Stronger of two alleles which show up most often?

This question is incomplete. To answer, the name of the alleles have to be given. Unless, you are asking about recessive and dominate genes (alleles).
