When will a recessive trait show its effect?

Answer 1

A recessive trait will be expressed when there is no dominant allele in the genotype for that trait. In a Mendelian trait, where one gene with one dominant and one recessive allele governs a trait, a recessive trait will be expressed when the individual's genotype for that trait is homozygous recessive, meaning that both of the individual's alleles for that trait are recessive.

Answer 2

A recessive trait will show its effect when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. This means that the individual is homozygous for the recessive trait. If the individual is heterozygous, meaning they only carry one copy of the recessive allele, the dominant trait will be expressed instead.

Answer 3

Recessive traits will be shown when the organism is an xx combination, instead of an XX, or Xx. Perhaps my crudely drawn punnet square will be a better illustration

X x

X XX Xx

x Xx xx <-- Recessive traits are shown when this is achieved

Answer 4

The recessive trait in an organism can be seen when both the allelic genes governing the trait are in homozygous recessive condition. Also if an organism is grown from haploid cells, as in case of haploid plants raised from pollen culture, the recessive trait becomes evident. In other words, in the absence of its dominant counterpart, a recessive trait is shown.

Answer 6

Recessive traits are only expressed when the individual receives the same recessive gene from both parents.

Answer 7

When the individual is homozygous recessive-- when they have two copies of the recessive gene.

Answer 8

A recessive trait will be express when the individual has two copies of the gene.

Answer 9

A recessive trait would be expressed when the individual has the homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.

Answer 10

homozygous
