No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.

What is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition called?

An allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition is called dominant. This means that only one copy of the allele is needed to express the trait.


What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?

In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present but not expressed because the dominant allele masks its effects.


What is it Dominant allele What is a recessive allele?

A genotype in which there are both a dominant and a recessive allele is called heterozygous.


Condition of being heterozygous for a recessive trait?

If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.


What gene produces an effect only in the homozygous state?

Recessive genes typically produce effects only when an individual is homozygous for them, meaning they have two copies of the recessive allele. If an individual is heterozygous for a recessive gene, the dominant allele will often mask the effects of the recessive allele.


What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?

incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook


What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?

That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.


What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?

Having a dominant and recessive allele is known as Mendelian inheritance, named after Gregor Mendel, the scientist who first described it. In this type of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.


What is the name of the gene pair that consist of a dominant allele and recessive allele?

The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.


True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?

In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed


Is it true that people who are heterozygous recessive allele but who have a normal phenotype eill not pass the harmful recessive allele to their kids?

It depends on the genotype of the childs other parent. If your partner is heterozygous as well then there is a 25% chance your child will be homozygous recessive. If they are homozygous dominant then none of your children will have the phenotype of the recessive trait. They will just possibly be carriers of the recessive allele.


What is an allele that produces heterozygous condition?

An allele that produces a heterozygous condition is one where an individual carries two different versions of a gene at the same locus. This can result in a combination of traits from both alleles, often leading to a phenotype that is a mix of the two versions.
