the characters and habits that the offspring does not carry of the parents is known as recessive characters.
example-woman-curl hair and fair body man-straight hair and black body.
offspring-curl hair and black body
in the above example, fair body and straight hair are the recessive characters that the child does not carry.
The presence of attached or unattached earlobes is determined by genetics. The trait for unattached earlobes is dominant, meaning that it is more common in the population. This is why more people tend to have attached earlobes.
In genetics, a dominant trait is one that is expressed when only one copy of the gene is present, masking the recessive trait. A recessive trait is only expressed when two copies of the gene are present.
Dominent. Simple- you have two types of Alleles, Dominent and Reccessive. Imagine a punnet square for the allele that causes albinoism (A). One parent has Aa, or one dominent allele and one reccessive allele for the trait. If the dominent skin-tone gene wasn't there (A), then it would be AA and he would be an albino. But since he has a dominent allele, he has normal color. If he made a baby with another Aa combination, they would have 25% chance of having an AA baby with no reccessive allele, a 50% chance of having an identical Aa combination, and a 25% chance of having an albino baby, AA.
recessive
A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.
Homozygous Dominant for a trait means that an organism has two dominant alleles for that trait. Here's an example: Trait: Widow's Peak Widow's Peak allele: Dominant (D) No widow's peak allele: Reccessive(d) Homozygous Dominant (DD) Homozygous Reccessive (dd) Heterozygous (Dd)
lowercase allele
The presence of attached or unattached earlobes is determined by genetics. The trait for unattached earlobes is dominant, meaning that it is more common in the population. This is why more people tend to have attached earlobes.
No, homozygous recessive indivuals MUST have two of the reccessive gene (bb), the possible combinations are bb,bb,bb,bb thus only a recessive trait is possible
heterozygous genotypes are two different traits which one is reccessive and one is dominant. to be homozygous means that both the traits are either both reccessive or both dominant
yes
In genetics, a dominant trait is one that is expressed when only one copy of the gene is present, masking the recessive trait. A recessive trait is only expressed when two copies of the gene are present.
NO, because a dominant phenotype could either be homozygous or a heterozygous.so unless you are sure about the genotype of parents we can't determine it...but we can determine the genotype of a person showing reccessive phenotype, as a recessive trait always expresses itself in a homozygous condition..Read more: Is_it_possible_to_determine_the_genotype_of_a_person_showing_a_dominant_phenotype

Sickle cell disease is an autosomal reccessive sexlinked trait so, a female msut have 2 recessive alleles to have the trait and a male needs only one allele (this is because there is no corresponding site for this allele on the Y chromosome. The female can be a carrier of the disorder with the defective allele on one X chromosome and a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Female carrriers can have a mixture of normal and abnormal redblood cells.
Dominant and recessive factors interact through the principles of inheritance, where dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles in a heterozygous genotype. This means that if an organism carries one dominant and one recessive allele for a trait, the dominant trait will be expressed in the phenotype. Recessive traits only manifest when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. Thus, the presence of a dominant allele can overshadow the influence of a recessive allele in determining observable characteristics.
Cystic Fibrosis is inherited as a recessive trait. This means that both parents have to carry the allele for the defect. Both parents are Cc which means that 25% of their children will be CC (homozyous dominant and will not be able to pass the recessive allele in subsequent generations, 50% will be Cc(carriers) and 25% will be cc (homozygous reccessive and have Cystic Fibrosis).
