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

If the gene is governed by a dominant and recessive allele, then if the dominant allele is present, the dominant trait will be expressed. If both alleles are recessive, then the recessive trait will be expressed.


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


True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?

In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed


What does it mean to have a dominant trait?

In genetics, a trait is considered dominant when it determines a phenotype over a recessive trait. For example, AA is crossed with AA to make Aa, Aa, Aa, and Aa. If "A" is the dominant trait and "a" is the recessive trait, then since this cross produces heterozygous progeny, they will all show the dominant phenotype. A dominant trait is just how it sounds, it dominates over recessive traits when they are both present.


What is a trait expressed when two different genes for the same trait present?

If the two different genes include one dominant allele and one recessive allele, which is the heterozygous genotype, the dominant phenotype is expressed. For example, if R represents the red flower allele and r represents the white flower allele, the flowers would be red. If the trait is governed by incomplete dominance, then the heterozygous genotype (Rr) will produce an intermediate phenotype, such as pink.

What are dominant alleles?

Is one whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present


Why is it that a person with an allele for a particular trait may not have a phenotype that shows the trait?

a dominant allele will express its trait , as well as be carried by the person. the word carrier is commonly used for a person who bears an allele which does not express itself(i.e. a recessive gene).

What does resscessive mean?

What is the allele which is overuled?

The two types of alleles are dominant and recessive. The recessive allele will still be present but the recessive trait is not usually seen. However, is not always overruled. In the cases of codominance and incomplete dominance, the recessive trait still shows through some of the dominant one.

How does an allele trait in an organism?

An allele causes a trait by either being dominant orrecessive or example, allele A will occur over allele a because it is dominant.
