The recessive trait isn't present when the dominant form of the trait is there. Whenever a trait is dominant trait is present it ALWAYS takes over the recessive one. the law of Dominance

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.


What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?

It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.


The form of a trait that appears to mask another form the same trait is called what?

The form of a trait that appears to mask another form of the same trait is called the dominant trait. Dominant traits will be expressed over recessive traits in a heterozygous individual.


Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait?

A recessive trait is one that is not expressed when paired with a dominant trait. It may only be visually evident when both copies of the gene carry the recessive form.


What is a dominant allale?

A dominant allele is a form of gene that masks the presence of a recessive allele when both are present in an individual. This means that the trait associated with the dominant allele will be expressed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles are typically represented by uppercase letters.


What do the terms dominant and recessive mean?

Dominant refers to a trait that is expressed when present, while recessive refers to a trait that is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. Dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in genetics.


What is the result when a dominant allele pairs up with a recessive allele in simple dominance?

The dominant form of the trait shows. -Gradpoint


Is a recessive gene expressed?

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.


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.


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

What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?

A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
