What is a word that starts with an r that is the genetic material in a daughter cell not found in either parent?
recessive trait
Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
What is the genetic composition determining a trait?
Genotype is the genetic makeup of a trait.
Describe what genes are and explain what makes a disease genetic?
genes are what make up your DNA. each gene has two alleles, and whether those alleles are dominant or recessive determines what trait you get. Every trait has at least on gene coding for it, and some have more. a disease is genetic when there is a gene coding for it, as opposed to just a mutation or something environmental causing it.
Would a disease caused by exposure to chemicals be considered a genetic trait?
A genetic trait is passed on through the genes. Which means that disease from exposure to chemicals is not inherited.
Is six fingers a dominate trait?
Having six fingers is typically considered a polydactyly trait, which is a rare genetic variation. Whether a trait is dominant or recessive depends on the specific genetic mutation causing it. In polydactyly cases, the inheritance pattern can vary, with some being dominant and others being recessive.
What is one genetic trait that masks another form of a trait?
Polydactyly is a genetic trait that can mask the presence of the recessive trait for normal digit number in humans. This means that individuals with polydactyly (extra fingers or toes) can carry the recessive allele for normal digit number without expressing it themselves.
Are Freckles are a physical trait that is transmitted by a recessive gene?
Yes, freckles are a physical trait that can be determined by genetic factors. The development of freckles is influenced by a combination of genetic predisposition and exposure to sunlight, rather than being solely determined by a single recessive gene.
Is being left-handed a recessive trait?
No, being left-handed is not a recessive trait. It is a result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
When Mendell performed genetic crosses which trait vanished?
recessive
Is diabetes an example of a dominant or recessive trait in genetic inheritance?
Diabetes is not a simple genetic trait like dominant or recessive. It is a complex condition influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors.
Which allele (gene) exhibits its trait only when it is paired with another allele in a genetic cross?
Recessive allele exhibits its trait only when paired with another recessive allele in a genetic cross.
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.
A genetic trait which is present but unseen in an individual is called a trait?
Recessive For example, brown eyes (B) are dominant, blue eyes (b) are recessive. BB = brown Bb = brown bb = blue In the Bb genotype, the blue eyed gene is present, but the brown eyed gene is dominant, and show as the phenotype
What is arecessive trait?
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
Is left-handedness a dominant or recessive trait?
Left-handedness is considered to be a complex trait influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, rather than a simple dominant or recessive trait.
