Whats the phenotype of a stronger allele?
The allele which have dominant genes or whose genes can express themselves in presence or its corresponding gene in F1 expressions is the strongest of two, allthough no whole allele is strongest but its part of gene which carry that ability
What does it mean to be homozygous dominant heterozygous or homozygous recessive?
Homozygous means "same" so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant is stronger showing trait, recessive is weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt is homozygous recessive and TT is homozygous dominant. Hope this helped...
What are the difference between dominant and recessive genes?
Dominant genes will cover up recessive genes. Take a simplified version of eye color for example. Brown is dominant and blue is recessive. Someone might have the allele for both brown and blue, but their eyes will be brown because of the dominent brown gene. If there are two parents that carry the recessive gene, neither will be blue eyed, but they will have a chance of having a blue eyed child if both pass on the recessive gene.
In your own words what does the term recessive trait mean?
A recessive trait is the opposite of a dominant trait. A dominant trait is the trait that overpowers another trait- represented by a capital letter. The recessive trait is the trait that is weaker, and being overpowered- represented by a lowercase letter. For example, if one person had a recessive trait for detached earlobes, it would be represented as " aa ",. If someone had a dominant trait for attached earlobes (meaning they had free earlobes), it would be represented as "AA"or " Aa "
The most powerful genes are said to be?
Genes that are considered to be powerful are usually those that code for essential cellular functions, such as those involved in regulating cell growth and division, controlling metabolism, and responding to external signals. These genes are often called "master regulators" because they have a broad impact on the cell's behavior and can influence multiple downstream pathways. Mutations in these genes can lead to significant changes in cell behavior and are often associated with diseases like cancer.
What is the difference between dominant alleles and recessive alleles?
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
What is the relation between dominant and recessive alleles?
the dominant trait is the stronger one and the recessive trait is the weaker one
Whats the phenotype of a stronger allele?
The allele which have dominant genes or whose genes can express themselves in presence or its corresponding gene in F1 expressions is the strongest of two, allthough no whole allele is strongest but its part of gene which carry that ability
What is a recessive genes?
Recessive is a relative term used to describe the relationship to another allele termed the dominant allele. That traits of the recessive allele will only be shown if the person has two copies of the recessive allele. If a dominant allele is present, then the recessive trait will not be shown.
13 What is the name of a weak trait that is masked by a stronger trait?
The weaker trait is called the recessive trait The stronger one is called the dominant trait
What is the weaker allele in a pair of genes?
Recessive Allele
What is the name given to the weaker trait that can be covered up by the dominant trai?
The recessive gene - less stronger than the dominant one.
Are dominant traits more likely to be inheritd then recessive traits?
Yes. When looking at Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance, the Dominant allele will always be inherited by the offspring, as it is more potent than the 'weaker' recessive allele (unless the recessive allele is present in both parents; this can be in the form of Aa or aa, but it must be present in both for the recessive allele to be present in the offspring). There are other cases, though, such as co-dominance, in which recessive alleles are more likely to be present in the offspring, but speaking in general terms, it is the Dominant (ex. AA / Aa) alleles that show up more commonly in offspring than the recessive (ex. aa) alleles.
What does it mean to be homozygous dominant heterozygous or homozygous recessive?
Homozygous means "same" so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant is stronger showing trait, recessive is weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt is homozygous recessive and TT is homozygous dominant. Hope this helped...

If a dog is bred with its sibling does the puppy have a weaker bone structure?
The puppies will have problems because of this inbreeding. One of these can be weaker bone structure. They have these problems because genetic problems that are usually masked by dominant genes are uncovered by two recessive genes that both siblings received from their parents.
What are dominant and recessive alleles?
a dominant allele is an allele that takes over the recessive allele and a recessive allele is a trait that is skipped or held backDominant: Tongue Roller Free (Unattached) Earlobes Farsightedness Astigmatism Freckles Dimples in cheeks Feet with normal arches PTC taster Widow's Peak Double-jointed thumb Broad lips Polydactyly (Extra fingers and toes) Syndactyly (Webbed digits) Achondroplasia (herterozygous: dwarfism; homozyogous: lethal) Huntington's disease Normal skin pigmentation Absence of Tay-Sachs disease Normal Mentation Recessive: Inability to rill tongue into U shape Attaches earlobes Normal vision Absence of freckles Absence of dimples Flat feet PTC nontaster Straight hairline Tight thumb ligaments Thin lips Normal number of fingers and toes Normal digits Normal carilage bone formation Absence of huntington's disease Albinism Tay-Sachs disease Cystic Fibrosis Schizophrenia (Courtesy of "Human Anatomy and Physiology)
