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 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
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 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.
An allele is one of the alternative forms of a gene that governs a trait If a fern plant is heterozygous for a particular trait how can the alleles that control that trait be described?
one dominant, one recessive
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 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 two forms of robinow syndrome?
Dominant and 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
Describe the relationship between dominant and recessive trait forms?
The relationship between Dominant and recessive trait forms is simple a dominant trait is an allele that hides or masks another allele. While a recessive trait is the allele that is hidden or masked by another allele such as the dominant trait, the recessive trait is ONLY expressed when two copies of the recessive allele are present.
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 is the opposite of homozygous of dominant?
heterozygous recessive
How many forms of a gene can an individual normally carry?
Normally a gene may be either dominant or recessive, depending on the circumstances co-dominant and incomplete dominant genes are also seen in many individuals.
Are alleles dominant or recessive?
Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.
When two or more forms of the gene for a single trait exist some forms may be?
dominant and others may be recessive.
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
