The genotype of a person with one dominate allele for a gene and one recessive would be expressed as Aa or Yy. You can use any letter you would like except one will be shown as a capital (dominate) and one as a lower case (recessive). This combination is heterozygous for that trait.
What else can I help you with?
What is dominant recessive?
There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).
A test cross made with a cat that may be heterozygous for a recessive trait what is the presumed genotype of the cat explain?
If the cat is suspected to be heterozygous for a recessive trait, the presumed genotype would be Aa, where A represents the dominant allele and a represents the recessive allele. This means the cat has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for the trait in question. The test cross would involve crossing this cat with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the genotype of the cat.
When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?
A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
Is a recessive gene expressed?
Ok, im assuming your question is "if two recessive alleles are present will the trait be expressed" A trait will be expressed if two alleles are recessive but it will not be the same representation as two dominant alleles. For example, T being a tall pea plant and t being a small pea plant. Two recessive alleles or, homozygous recessive, alleles The other option would be there is one dominant and one recessive, heterozygous, which would look like Tt. This would take on the trait of the dominant allele usually expressed by the capital letter. So this heterozygous plant would be tall.
What is genotype Cc?
Genotype Cc refers to the genetic make-up of an individual who has one dominant allele (C) and one recessive allele (c) for a particular gene. This means that the individual carries both the dominant and recessive traits for that gene, where the dominant trait (C) will be expressed in the phenotype.
What is dominant recessive?
There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).
What is the opposite of homozygous of dominant?
heterozygous recessive
A test cross made with a cat that may be heterozygous for a recessive trait what is the presumed genotype of the cat explain?
If the cat is suspected to be heterozygous for a recessive trait, the presumed genotype would be Aa, where A represents the dominant allele and a represents the recessive allele. This means the cat has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for the trait in question. The test cross would involve crossing this cat with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the genotype of the cat.
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 difference between a dominant gene and a recessive gene?
In some but not all cases a dominant gene is a functional version (allele) of that gene while a recessive gene is a nonfunctional (or less functional) version (allele) of that gene. As the dominant gene produces a fully normally functioning protein if it is inherited in even just one copy that protein will "dominate" over the protein produced (if any is produced) by the recessive gene. Sometimes there are multiple different dominant alleles and/or multiple different recessive alleles of a specific gene (e.g. human blood types have 2 dominant alleles: A and B that produce different antigen proteins and 1 recessive allele: O that produces no antigen protein).
When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?
A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
Is a recessive gene expressed?
Ok, im assuming your question is "if two recessive alleles are present will the trait be expressed" A trait will be expressed if two alleles are recessive but it will not be the same representation as two dominant alleles.

Two recessive alleles or, homozygous recessive, alleles The other option would be there is one dominant and one recessive, heterozygous, which would look like Tt. This would take on the trait of the dominant allele usually expressed by the capital letter. So this heterozygous plant would be tall.
What prepesents a heterozygous genotype?
A heterozygous genotype represents having two different alleles for a particular gene, with one being dominant and the other recessive. This results in the individual expressing the dominant trait while also carrying the recessive allele.
What is genotype Cc?
Genotype Cc refers to the genetic make-up of an individual who has one dominant allele (C) and one recessive allele (c) for a particular gene. This means that the individual carries both the dominant and recessive traits for that gene, where the dominant trait (C) will be expressed in the phenotype.
What kind of plant has one dominant gene and two recessive gene?
A plant that exhibits this genetic inheritance pattern would have a heterozygous genotype, where one allele is dominant and the other two alleles are recessive. This would result in the dominant trait being expressed in the plant's phenotype.
What genotype has different alleles?
A heterozygous genotype has two different alleles for a given gene, one inherited from each parent. For example, in the genotype Aa, the individual has one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a) for that gene.
What can the genotype Kk can be described as?
The genotype Kk can be described as heterozygous for a specific gene, meaning that the individual has two different alleles for that gene. In this case, one allele is dominant (K) and one is recessive (k). The dominant allele will determine the phenotype in this case.
