A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present but not expressed because the dominant allele masks its effects.
What type of alleles are expressed only if two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring?
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.
Is it true that recessive alleles are never present when dominant alleles are present?
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.
What is a reccessive trait?
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.
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
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.
What makes a dominant allel different from?
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.
What is a gene pair that consists of a dominate allel and a recessive allel?
That is called heterozygous or it is called a hybrid.
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present but not expressed because the dominant allele masks its effects.
For a recessive trait to be expressed in a generation of offspring an individual must be a?
Homozygous
How are traits categorized for the offspring?
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.
When an allel is described by a lower-case letter it is a?
recessive
What types of alleles are expressed only if 2 identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring?
Two copies of the recessive allele are the only way a recessive trait is expressed phenotypically.
What type of alleles are expressed only if two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring?
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.
What is an individal that has one recessive and dominant allel for pure bread?
Heterozygote.
What is it called when replication is messed up?
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.
What is a trait that needs two factors in order to be expressed?
Actually, it is the recessive.................................................................UR WELCOME! :)
What type of alleles are expressed only if two identical copies exist on the homolgs of the offspring?
Recessive because...
