If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.
What else can I help you with?
What does it mean if there is two different alleles for a trait?
The trait could show up in two different forms. Alleles are individual units that determine what trait will be expressed in an offspring. Alleles exist for most traits such as hair color or wing size. Having two alleles simply means that the trait can be expressed in different variation. One trait can have several different alleles.
A trait that is masked by a dominant trait is called?
DNAactually it is not DNA at all, a dominant trait, masks a recessive trait.
An individual who is homozygous is what?
It is a genetic similarity between two organisms.
What is carrier?
1.a career(sociology) is your choice of occupation and your course of progress through life. 2.a carrier(biology) is someone that has part of a genetic inheritance(trait) or disease but doesn't have the disease <himself>. here a carrier can either be recessive or dominant to the trait. 3.carriers (physiology) are membrane proteins that complement the structural features of the molecules transported.
Why is a son who receives the allele for color blindness from his mother always colorblind?
Color blindness is a sex-linked trait that is carried on the X chromosome. Since males inherit their single X chromosome from their mother, if the mother carries the allele for color blindness, her son will inherit it and be colorblind. Females need two copies of the allele to be colorblind, so they can be carriers without exhibiting the trait.
What is the condition in which one is heterozygous with a recessive trait?
by ecolocation
What are two possibilities for a specific trait?
Allele The specific trait may be either in homozygous or heterozygous condition. The expression of the trait depends on its dominant or recessive condition.
What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?
The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.
What term describes an individual that has a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait?
The term for an individual with a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait is "heterozygous." This means they have two different alleles for a specific gene, with one being dominant and the other recessive.
Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.
Individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring will all inherit one copy of the dominant allele (from the heterozygous parent) and one copy of the recessive allele (from the homozygous recessive parent). This results in all offspring being heterozygous for the trait.
What contains both a dominate trait and a recessive trait?
heterozygous?
An individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring has a 50% chance of the dominate trait (while being heteroygous) and a 50% chance of having the recessive trait ( homozygous recessive).
What type of trait prevents the other type from being seen?
A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.
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 a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
The allele for the trait that does not appear in a heterozygous individual is?
recessive
