What is a heterozygous indivisual who doesnt show a reccesive genetic disorder but who can pass a reccesive allele on to their offspring is called what?

The individual is called a carrier. This means they carry a recessive allele for a genetic disorder, but they do not exhibit symptoms of the disorder themselves. However, they can pass on the recessive allele to their offspring.


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.:-)


A gene that can be masked by another gene is called?

A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.


What is a version of a gene that masks the effect of another version?

A dominant gene is a version of a gene that will be expressed and mask the effect of a recessive gene in a heterozygous individual.


Which of these is a gene that does not express itself and is concealed by the presence of another gene of the same trait?

A recessive gene is a gene that does not express itself in the presence of a dominant gene of the same trait. When an individual inherits two recessive genes for a trait, the recessive gene will be expressed.

What is an example of a reccesive gene?

In humans, the gene that codes for the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is an expmple of a recessive gene


When both alleles of a gene are different what is the indivisual?

When an individual has two different alleles for a gene, they are said to be heterozygous for that gene. This means that they have one dominant allele and one recessive allele for that particular trait.

I think that the organism is reccesive that's why it's called a purebread!!!!!!!


What is a kind of trait that seemed tio vanish in the offspring produced in mendels first experiment?

What does reccesive trait mean?

A recessive trait is one that will only be expressed when in the presence of two recessive alleles.

Is downs syndrome dominant or reccesive?

Down syndrome is not classified as a dominant or recessive genetic trait; rather, it is typically caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, a condition known as trisomy 21. This chromosomal abnormality occurs as a random event during cell division and is not inherited in a traditional Mendelian sense. Therefore, it does not follow the patterns of dominance or recessiveness seen in single-gene traits.


What are recess?

There are two types of traits, recessive and dominant. One is more likely to appear in a following generation than the other. Say, one person with black hair is partners to someone with red hair. Black hair is a more dominant trait than red. Their kids will more likely have black, in following generations though you can still have someone with red hair pop up down the line because the gene is always there and because of its recessive nature it can go generations without coming up again. a reccesive trait is like; if your mom had blue eyes and your dad had brown eyes, you would probably have brown eyes because blue eyes is a reccesive trait
