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.


One trait masking another form of a trait?

Incomplete dominance is when one allele does not completely mask another allele, resulting in an intermediate phenotype. This can occur when both alleles contribute to the trait, rather than one completely dominating the other.


Will an organism with a recessive allele for a particular form of a trait will always exhibit that form?

No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.


Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?

Recessive traits are not expressed when the dominant form is present. This is because the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition. Only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele will the recessive trait be expressed.


What is a recessave trait?

A trait that can be overridden by another trait. For example, red hair is a recessive trait. If you have one gene for red hair, and one gene for any other color of hair, you will not have red hair. Your hair will be the color determined by the other gene. Therefore, you could have several generations without that trait showing up, until two parents, each with one gene for that trait have a chile, the child will have a 1 in 4 chance of having that trait. if parent 1 has 1 gene for red hair (we'll call it R) and one for blond hair (we'll call it B, and the other parent has 1 R and one gene for black hair (we'll call it Bl). there are 4 possibilities for what a child will have for hair color. B, Bl (Black hair with recessive blond); B, R (Blond hair with recessive red); R, Bl (Black hair with recessive red); R, R (Red hair)

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.


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 organism with one dominant and one recessive version of a trait called?

The organism is heterozygous as opposed to homozygous. Hetero comes from greek origin meaning different as opposed to homo which means same.

What part of speech is trait?

If the two word phrase "character trait" is considered a single part of speech, it is a noun. Alternatively, one could call "trait" a noun and "character" a substantive adjective modifying "trait".

Incomplete dominance is when one allele does not completely mask another allele, resulting in an intermediate phenotype. This can occur when both alleles contribute to the trait, rather than one completely dominating the other.
