Ok, im assuming your question is "if two recessive alleles are present will the trait be expressed"

A trait will be expressed if two alleles are recessive but it will not be the same representation as two dominant alleles. For example, T being a tall pea plant and t being a small pea plant. Two recessive alleles or, homozygous recessive, alleles The other option would be there is one dominant and one recessive, heterozygous, which would look like Tt. This would take on the trait of the dominant allele usually expressed by the capital letter. So this heterozygous plant would be tall.

A recessive gene.


What does recessive mean as it relates to genes?

A recessive gene is one that is only expressed if an individual has two copies of that gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is not visible unless an individual inherits two copies, one from each parent. If an individual inherits only one copy of a recessive gene, the dominant gene will be expressed instead.


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:)


Can a recissive gene be dominant?

No, a recessive gene cannot be dominant. In genetics, dominant genes are expressed over recessive genes when present in an individual's genotype. This means that if a gene is recessive, it will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of that specific recessive gene.


Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?

In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.


The weaker of two genes is called what?

The weaker of two genes is called the recessive gene. In the presence of a dominant gene, the recessive gene is not expressed in the organism's phenotype.


Chromosome that has both dominant and recessive gene?

A chromosome can have both dominant and recessive genes for a specific trait, but only one gene will be expressed in an individual. The dominant gene will be expressed over the recessive gene in a heterozygous individual. This is known as the principle of dominance in genetics.


A gene that can be masked by another gene is called?

A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.


What is recessive gene and dominant gene?

A dominant gene is always expressed if present, and the recessive gene is only expressed with the homozygous recessive genotype. For example, if the dominant gene is red (represented by the letter R) and the recessive gene is white (represented by the letter r), then a homozygous dominant organism's genotype will be RR, and its phenotype will be red. If the organism is homozygous recessive, then the genotype will be rr and the phenotype will be white. If the organism is heterozygous, then the genotype will be Rr, and the organism will be red.


Can a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait?

Yes, a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait if it is expressed and not masked by a dominant gene. In cases where the individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene, the trait will be expressed.


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 recessive gene is a gene that does not express itself in the presence of a dominant gene of the same trait. When an individual inherits two recessive genes for a trait, the recessive gene will be expressed.
