What else can I help you with?
What do you call one version or form of a trait?
A variant is one version or form of a trait.
When one trait is said to cancel out another trait what kind of relationship is said to exist?
When one trait cancels out another trait, it is referred to as a relationship of epistasis. Epistasis occurs when the expression of one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene.
What is a dominant and ressesive?
In genetics, a dominant trait is one that is expressed when only one copy of the gene is present, masking the recessive trait. A recessive trait is only expressed when two copies of the gene are present.
Principle that states that the inheritance of a gene for one trait does not affect the inheritance of the gene for another trait?
The principle you're referring to is Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment, which states that alleles of different genes segregate independently of one another during gamete formation. This means that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another trait.
Is recessive traits visible?
Recessive traits are only visible if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has only one copy of the recessive allele, the dominant allele will be expressed, masking the recessive trait.
What do geneticists call a trait that hides other traits?
Geneticists call a trait that hides other traits a "recessive trait." When an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for a specific trait, the dominant allele will be expressed, masking the effects of the recessive allele.
Why wouldn't you see a recessive trait?
You wouldn't see a recessive trait if an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for that trait. In this case, the dominant allele's phenotype will be expressed, masking the recessive trait. The recessive trait would only be visible if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
What do you call one version or form of a trait?
A variant is one version or form of a 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.
What is one genetic trait that masks another form of a trait?
Polydactyly is a genetic trait that can mask the presence of the recessive trait for normal digit number in humans. This means that individuals with polydactyly (extra fingers or toes) can carry the recessive allele for normal digit number without expressing it themselves.
When one trait is said to cancel out another trait what kind of relationship is said to exist?
When one trait cancels out another trait, it is referred to as a relationship of epistasis. Epistasis occurs when the expression of one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene.
What will be hidden unless the individual is homozygous?
In genetics, a recessive trait will be hidden unless the individual is homozygous for that trait. This means that both alleles for a specific gene must be identical and recessive for the trait to be expressed phenotypically. If an individual carries one dominant allele, the dominant trait will be expressed instead, masking the recessive trait.
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.
Which best describes the law of independent assortment A.The F2 generation will be identical to the F1 generation. B.Alleles of a trait separate independently when gametes form. C.Traits can only b?
B. Alleles of a trait separate independently when gametes form. The law of independent assortment states that the alleles for different traits are distributed to gametes independently of one another during meiosis. This means that the inheritance of one trait generally does not influence the inheritance of another trait.
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.
