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.
When one trait is said to cancel out another trait what kind of relationship is said to exist?
dominant
Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?
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
How many alleles for one trait can an individual have?
Genotypes consist of two alleles for every trait. You inherit one allele from one parent, and another from the other parent.
Which best describe the law of independent assortment?
Each pair of chromosomes separates on its own during meiosis.
What is one genetic trait that masks another form of a trait?
A dominant trait masks another form of a trait, also known as the recessive trait.
What is fault masking?
An occurrence in which one defect prevents the detection of another. [After IEEE 610]. It is same as Defect Masking.
Are Recessive traits always shown in an organism's offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
Are recessive traits are always shown in an organism offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
What is the rule that states one trait can hide another trait?
Rule of Dominance.
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.
What was the purpose of mendels?
To determine if one trait could affect the inheritance of another trait
When one trait is said to cancel out another trait what kind of relationship is said to exist?
dominant
What was the purpose of Mendel experiments?
To determine if one trait could affect the inheritance of another trait
What was the purpose of Mendel's experiments with?
To determine if one trait could affect the inheritance of another trait
What does it mean when a trait is recessive?
The principle of excessiveness is defined as the explanation of why one trait will not show over another. If a trait is recessive it will not show when a dominant trait is present.
Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?
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
