Is gigantism a dominant or recessive gene?
Gigantism is usually caused by a hormone disorder, not a single gene being dominant or recessive. In some rare cases, gigantism can be caused by a genetic mutation, but it is not a simple dominant or recessive trait.
Can a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait?
Yes, a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait if it is expressed and not masked by a dominant gene. In cases where the individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene, the trait will be expressed.
Under what condition is a single recessive allele expressed in a male?
A single recessive allele will be expressed in a male if he inherits that allele on his only X chromosome, as males have one X and one Y chromosome. This is because the presence of the recessive allele on the X chromosome has no dominant allele to mask its expression.
Dominant and recessive genes?
Dominant genes are shown for example as T recessive genes are shown as t if there is a dominant and recessive gene (Tt) then your child will get the dominant one this is called heterozygous. Meaning that they have two different genes for a trait such as curly hair and straight hair. There is also being homozygous (TT or tt) the only way your child could recieve a recessive gene such as left handednes, is if the two parents were carrying a recessive gene along with their dominant one or if they both were carrying two reccesive genes. the childs probable genotype can be explaind a lot better with a Punnet Square. I hope this wasn't too confusing.:-)
Are freckles dominant?
Freckles are not controlled by a single dominant gene. They are influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, making their inheritance complex and not solely based on dominant/recessive patterns.
Is turners recessive or dominant?
It is neither recessive nor dominant because it is a chromosomal disorder and not just a problem present in a single gene.
Is it possible to have a dominate recessive trait?
no, because dominant is different from recessive, its impossible to have a dominant-recessive trait because the dominant is when only one copy of the gene is present, while in the recessive a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring, in short the dominant is for single parent, while in the recessive is a product of two parents.
A single gene trait that has two alleles and that shows a simple dominant recessive pattern will result in?
A 3:1 phenotypic ratio (Mendelian inheritance).
What is a gene combination for a single trait?
homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive
Is allergic rhinitis dominant or recessive?
Allergic rhinitis is not inherited in a simple Mendelian dominant or recessive pattern. It is a complex trait influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors. Family history can increase the risk of developing allergic rhinitis, but it is not determined by a single gene with dominant or recessive inheritance.
Is leukemia a dominant or recessive gene?
It depends on the family but I assume that its a recessive gene.
What do you call an organism with two dominant or two recessive gene's for a single trait?
Homozygous.
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.
Is tallness a recessive trait?
No, tallness is typically a polygenic trait influenced by multiple genes. It is not determined by a single gene and therefore cannot be categorized as recessive or dominant in the same way that Mendelian traits are.
Is gigantism a dominant or recessive gene?
Gigantism is usually caused by a hormone disorder, not a single gene being dominant or recessive. In some rare cases, gigantism can be caused by a genetic mutation, but it is not a simple dominant or recessive trait.
What do you call an organism that possesses one dominant and one recessive genes for a single trait?
heterozygous
Is a gender a dominant or recessive gean?
Purebreds can be recessive or dominant, depending on their genotype. A genotype for spots on a griaffe could be AA (purebred dominant), Aa (heterozygous dominant), or AA (purebred recessive)? AA and Aa would both show the dominant phenotype, but only AA and AA are purebreds.
