A dominate trait will most likely take over the recessive.

∙ 11y agoa dominant trait is a trait that you are born with that makes you look the way you do today, however, the recessive trait is a trait that is still in your body's genes but does not contribute to looks but rather to the way you act.

∙ 12y agoA dominant trait is a trait that shows up in the offspring (when mixed with a recessive trait the dominant trait shows up). As for a recessive trait will only whow up if both parents pass on the genes for the trait, when mixed a dominant trait the recessive trait doesn't show up. For example, if one parent passed on the gene for tongue rolling and the other parent passed on the gene for non-toungue rolling, the offspring would be able to role their tongue because tongue rolling is a dominant characteristic.

∙ 9y agoA dominant trait will appear in the individual's phenotype even if it's only inherited from one parent. A recessive trait has to be inherited from both parents in order to appear in the individual's phenotype.

∙ 14y agoA dominant trait will always cover up the recessive trait. And the only way the recessive trait will show is if there are two of them.

What is difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
A recessive trait is a trait that is not shown or expressed physically but is retained within the persons genes, whereas a dominant trait is a trait which opresses the recessive trait and is prodominantly shown or expressed physically. For example it is possible for two red-haired parents, both with recessive dark haired genes, to have a dark haired child. they must both have the recessive gene or the dominant gene of red - hair will be expressed in the child
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
When two recessive genes are inherited, and the portion of recessive inheritance is 51% or greater in favor of the recessive trait.
A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?
False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.

What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
What is the relation between dominant and recessive alleles?
the dominant trait is the stronger one and the recessive trait is the weaker one
What is the difference between the dominant and recessive allele for a trait?
An individual must have 2 recessive alleles in order for a trait to show up. One must only have 1 dominant allele in order for a trait to occur.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
Is diabetes dominant or recessive trait?
It is a recessive trait
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
When two recessive genes are inherited, and the portion of recessive inheritance is 51% or greater in favor of the recessive trait.
A living thing with a dominant and recessive gene for a trait?
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?
False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.
The difference between a dominate and a recessive trait is?
A trait is dominant if it continues to be expressed in the heterozygous as well as the homozygous state. Recessivetraits are only expressed in the homozygous state.
What a recessive trait?
A recessive trait is a trait that is not dominant, and is not really seen in ones phenotype.
