Is gigantism a dominant or recessive gene?
Gigantism is usually caused by a hormone disorder, not a single gene being dominant or recessive. In some rare cases, gigantism can be caused by a genetic mutation, but it is not a simple dominant or recessive trait.
What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
Albinism is a recessive trait in humans that is controlled by a single gene how many recessive alleles must a person have to have albinism?

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:)
What is an example of recessive trait?
'Albinism' (being an albino, without skin pigmentation) is an example of a recessive trait. Specifically, it is an expressed recessive trait, because that person does not have the dominant gene at all, only two copies of a recessive gene. For a person to be an albino, his/her parents BOTH had to have the recessive gene and the offspring had to inherit THOSE TWO copies and can now only 'express' the recessive gene. There is no dominant gene to undo the albino trait. Side note: there is more than one form of albinism recognized in medical science, but all are examples of recessive traits. Another example of a recessive trait would be 'sickle-cell disease/anemia.'
Is albinism a recessive trait or dominant?
Recessive. The trait will only show up if both parents have the gene recessively (aa). If the genetic make up is Aa or AA, there will be melanin production, meaning albinism is an aa gene only. Albinism is a recessive allele.
What is the genotype of an individual with albinism?
I think no. It's caused by a recessive gene so if a person has albinism their genotype can only be recessive, recessive ---> AA (small a small a or whatever you call it). No other genotype will mean that person has Albinism, like if it has at least one big A, that means it's just a carrier of albinism.

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
What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
Is leukemia a dominant or recessive gene?
It depends on the family but I assume that its a recessive gene.
What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
A dominant gene will exhibit its traits even in the presence of a recessive gene. This is because the dominant gene masks the expression of the recessive gene when present in the same individual.
Albinism is a recessive trait in humans that is controlled by a single gene how many recessive alleles must a person have to have albinism?

Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
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
Is albanism autosomal?
Yes, albinism is typically caused by autosomal recessive gene mutations. This means that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to express the albinism trait.
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:)
