Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called?

Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called Recessive traits. - Nikkkki


What are sex-limited traits and how do they differ from sex-influenced traits in genetic inheritance?

Sex-limited traits are characteristics that are only expressed in one sex, such as male pattern baldness. Sex-influenced traits, on the other hand, can be expressed in both sexes but are influenced by the individual's sex, like the gene for breast cancer being more likely to be expressed in females.


Why are some parents traits expressed in their offspring and others are not?

Some traits are recessive and some are dominant. The recessive trait could be masked/hidden because of the dominant trait. Two copies of recessive alleles are needed to be shown in the phenotype.


What is the similarities between sex influenced and sex limited traits?

Both sex-influenced and sex-limited traits are influenced by sex chromosomes. Sex-influenced traits are expressed differently in males and females due to hormonal differences, while sex-limited traits are only expressed in one sex due to anatomical or physiological differences. Both types of traits are dependent on the sex of the individual for their expression.


What are dominant and recessive traits reinforcement activity?

Dominant traits are expressed when an individual has even one copy of the dominant allele, while recessive traits require two copies of the recessive allele to be expressed. In a reinforcement activity, individuals with dominant traits are selected for breeding to reinforce the expression of those traits in subsequent generations. This can help maintain the dominance of a particular trait within a population.

Which traits oberved were dominant and recessive?

In genetics, dominant traits are those that are expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while recessive traits are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele and no dominant allele present. Dominant traits often mask recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.


Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for that trait is called what?

Recessive traits. This means that the trait is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele for that trait, one from each parent.

What did Gregor Mendel call the traits that disappear in the first generation?

Gregor Mendel called the traits that disappear in the first generation recessive traits. These traits are not expressed in the offspring when there is a dominant trait present.
