The strong or expressive trait is known as Dominanttrait, and the weak or unexpressive trait is known as Recessive trait

but even that is up for debate as some contend it is the dominant or recessive allele on the gene that is expressed (the phenotype).

What is a gene trait?

A single-gene trait is a phenotypic trait controlled by two homologous alleles.


What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?

A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.


WHAT is single gene trait?

A single gene trait is a specific characteristic or phenotype that is influenced by the expression of a single gene. This means that the presence or absence of a particular trait is determined by variations in one specific gene. Examples include earlobe attachment, hair color, and tongue rolling.


What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?

It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.


Can a single gene control a single trait.?

It was once believed that one gene controls one trait, so it is possible. Currently, the belief is that one gene can interact with other genes to control a trait, and that one gene can control more than one trait.


What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?

The gene defined as controlling the appearance of a specific trait is referred to as the "gene for that trait" or "trait-specific gene." These genes can influence physical characteristics like eye color, height, or leaf shape.


What gene that is always expressed and will produce a trait?

The gene that is always expressed and will produces a trait is a genetic statistic. This statistic is what is created when the gene is dominant.


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 the form of gene that seems to have no impact on a trait in a heterozygous state?

A gene that shows no impact on a trait in a heterozygous state is called a recessive gene. In a heterozygous individual, the dominant gene will determine the trait expressed, while the recessive gene remains hidden.


What is the name given to the weaker trait that can be covered up by the dominant trai?

The recessive gene - less stronger than the dominant one.
