How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?
They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous allele
What are two forms that a gene or allele may take?
A gene or allele may take a dominant form, or a recessive form. If the allele is recessive, the characteristic which is coded for will be exhibited only if both the gene from the male and the gene from the female is recessive. Only one copy of a dominant allele is required to cause expression of the dominant characteristic
What is the different forms of gene?
Dominant and recessive. When drawing a Punnett Square, a dominant gene is written in uppercase letter meanwhile the recessive one is written in lowercase. Example: H-curly hair h-straight hair Curly hair is dominant straight hair is recessive
A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is?
A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is called homozygous. Homozygous alleles are identical forms of a gene and can be either dominant or recessive. Homozygous dominant means having two dominant alleles, while homozygous recessive means having two recessive alleles for a particular trait.
What makes a dominant allele different from a recessive allele?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
Are alleles recessive?
Alleles can be either dominant or recessive. They can be identical or different for any given gene in a somatic cell, and can represent alternative forms of a gene.
How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?
They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous allele
What has two identical alleles for a trait?
Homozygous individuals have two identical alleles for a specific trait. This means they can be either homozygous dominant (two dominant alleles) or homozygous recessive (two recessive alleles). Homozygosity results in the expression of either the dominant or recessive trait.
What are the differrent forms of a gene?
The 3 forms of a gene (called alleles) are:Dominant-dominant Ex.(BB)Dominant-recessive Ex.(Bb)Recessive-recessive Ex.(bb)
What are alleles and what are the two forms?
Alleles are different versions of a gene that can code for different traits. The two forms of alleles are dominant and recessive. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles when present together in an individual's genotype.
What are two forms of robinow syndrome?
Dominant and recessive
When two or more forms of the gene for a single trait exist some forms may be?
When two or more forms of a gene for a single trait exist, some forms may be dominant and others recessive. Dominant forms of a gene will be expressed over recessive forms in the phenotype. This is known as codominance or incomplete dominance.
What gene is masked if it is paired with a dominant gene?
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
What are two forms that a gene or allele may take?
A gene or allele may take a dominant form, or a recessive form. If the allele is recessive, the characteristic which is coded for will be exhibited only if both the gene from the male and the gene from the female is recessive. Only one copy of a dominant allele is required to cause expression of the dominant characteristic
How can alleles be?
Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that may differ in their nucleotide sequence, leading to variations in traits. Genes come in pairs, with one allele inherited from each parent, contributing to an individual's genotype and phenotype. Alleles can be dominant or recessive, influencing the expression of traits in an organism.
What is the opposite of homozygous of dominant?
heterozygous recessive
What is the different forms of gene?
Dominant and recessive. When drawing a Punnett Square, a dominant gene is written in uppercase letter meanwhile the recessive one is written in lowercase. Example: H-curly hair h-straight hair Curly hair is dominant straight hair is recessive
