A hereditary characteristic that carried by an individual but is not expressed in the phenotype is?
A recessive trait is a hereditary characteristic that is carried by an individual but is not expressed in the phenotype due to being masked by a dominant trait. These traits can be passed down through generations without being visible in the individual's physical appearance.
Describes a trait or an allele that is expressed only when two of the alleles for the saame characteristic are inherited?
A trait or allele that is only expressed when two alleles of the same type are inherited is called recessive. This means that the individual must inherit two copies of the recessive allele to exhibit the trait. If an individual inherits one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.
What is another name for heterozygous?
Another way to express something is heterozygous is to say it has dual alleles. There is a dominant and recessive allele. Alleles determine which traits something will have. Normally this is expressed in a single allele.
What is a sex-limited trait and how does it differ from sex-influenced traits in genetics?
A sex-limited trait is a genetic characteristic that is only expressed in one sex, such as male or female. This means that the trait is present in both sexes, but only shows up in one. On the other hand, sex-influenced traits are traits that are influenced by the sex of the individual, but can be expressed in both sexes. This means that the trait may be expressed differently depending on whether the individual is male or female.
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not exspresed is called what?
dominat
Mendel referred to the characteristic that was expressed in the hybrid F1 or first filial generation as?
Mendel referred to the characteristic expressed in the hybrid F1 generation as the dominant trait. This trait masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous individual.
What trait is the one that is expressed in a hybrid organism?
dominant
What is the name given to the weaker trait that can be covered up by the dominant trai?
The recessive gene - less stronger than the dominant one.
What will be hidden unless the individual is homozygous?
In genetics, a recessive trait will be hidden unless the individual is homozygous for that trait. This means that both alleles for a specific gene must be identical and recessive for the trait to be expressed phenotypically. If an individual carries one dominant allele, the dominant trait will be expressed instead, masking the recessive trait.
When is a recessive allele for a trait expressed in the phenotype of an dividual?
A recessive allele for a trait is expressed in the phenotype of an individual only when the individual is homozygous for that allele, meaning it has two copies of the recessive allele (one from each parent). If the individual has at least one dominant allele for that trait, the dominant trait will be expressed instead. Therefore, the presence of the recessive phenotype is only visible when both alleles are recessive.
For a recessive trait to be expressed in a generation of offspring an individual must be a?
Homozygous
The difference between a dominate and a recessive trait is?
A dominant trait is expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while a recessive trait is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. Dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
An allele that is dominated or covered up by another allele is called a recessive allele. This means that the trait associated with the recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele.
An organism with two different alleles for a single trait is said to be heterozygous?
A heterozygous is a hybrid of genes. It has a dominant and recessive gene. The dominant gene covers over the recessive trait, making the individual have the dominant trait. (trait are alleles...) or apex ans:two
What is arecessive trait?
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
A hereditary characteristic that carried by an individual but is not expressed in the phenotype is?
A recessive trait is a hereditary characteristic that is carried by an individual but is not expressed in the phenotype due to being masked by a dominant trait. These traits can be passed down through generations without being visible in the individual's physical appearance.
