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?
incomplete dominance
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
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
What is it when you have a gene pair that consist of two dominate alleles and two recessive alleles?
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.
In crossing a homozygous recessive with a heterozygote what is the chance of getting a homozygous recessive phenotype in the F1 generation?
1/2 or 50%. The homozygous recessive gentoype contains two recessive alleles for the gene for a trait. So the homozygous recessive individual can pass on only recessive alleles to an offspring. The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.
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.
What is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition called?
incomplete dominance
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
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 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.
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 called when you have a pair of genes that cnsits of a dominant allele and a recessive allele?
heterozygous
The allele for the trait that does not appear in a heterozygous individual is?
recessive
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
What are two possibilities for a specific trait?
Allele The specific trait may be either in homozygous or heterozygous condition. The expression of the trait depends on its dominant or recessive condition.
What is a gene pair that consists of a dominent allele and a recessive allele?
Heterozygous dominant pair.
What is a dominent allele?
A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.
