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.

What does it mean when a trait is recessive?

The principle of excessiveness is defined as the explanation of why one trait will not show over another. If a trait is recessive it will not show when a dominant trait is present.


When a trait seems to disappear or doesnt show up often?

Recessive Trait


All individuals that show a recessive trait are?

recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait


What is the only way a recessive trait will be expressed?

Breed/use only organisms showing the recessive trait for starters. If one of the parents or progenitor lines show the dominant trait then don't use their offspring. If the offspring of one of the oranisims show the dominant trait then remove both the parent of this offspring and this offspring showing the dominant trait from your program.

Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?

bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.


Will an offsping show a recessive trait if only one of its parents has the gene for that trait?

What is the difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?

A dominate trait will most likely take over the recessive.


How can a recessive trait become more prevalent in a population?

A recessive trait can become more prevalent in a population through processes like genetic drift, founder effect, or natural selection favoring individuals carrying the recessive trait. Over time, these mechanisms can lead to an increase in the frequency of the recessive trait within the population.


What is the genotype any time a recessive trait shows up?

The genotype for a recessive trait to show up is typically homozygous recessive (aa), meaning both alleles are the same and both are recessive.


In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
