A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present but not expressed because the dominant allele masks its effects.
Recessive alleles are expressed only when two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring. In this case, if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, it will show the recessive trait.
No, recessive alleles can still be present in an individual's genetic makeup even when dominant alleles are present. In this case, the recessive allele may not be expressed phenotypically, but can still be passed on to offspring.
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.
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present, but it is overridden by the dominant allele in terms of physical expression. The recessive allele still remains in the genetic makeup of the offspring and can be passed on to future generations.
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
That is called heterozygous or it is called a hybrid.
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present but not expressed because the dominant allele masks its effects.
Homozygous
As traits are dispensed to the offspring they can be either dominant or recessive. A recessive trait is only expressed when two identical alleles exist.
recessive
Two copies of the recessive allele are the only way a recessive trait is expressed phenotypically.
Recessive alleles are expressed only when two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring. In this case, if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, it will show the recessive trait.
Heterozygote.
Mutation occurs, if a mutation is recessive it is not expressed in the phenotype, if however it is dominant when passed on in the offspring it is expressed in the phenotype.
Actually, it is the recessive.................................................................UR WELCOME! :)
Recessive because...
