No, recessive alleles are equally likely to be inherited (if your dealing with only those two types of alleles). BUT, dominant alleles are the ones that show up. That is precisely why they are called dominant. Compared to recessive alleles, dominant ones will overrule the others, making it the one inherited.
What else can I help you with?
What does desirable features mean?
Desirable features mean features that are beneficial to the organism. That is, an organisim with these features has a higher chance of survival as it is better adapted to it's environment.
What influences natural selection?
Mostly natural selection depends on the environment
What were the Three prerequisites of a scientific revolution?
The three prerequisites of a scientific revolution, as articulated by philosopher Thomas Kuhn, include the establishment of a dominant paradigm, the accumulation of anomalies that cannot be explained by the existing paradigm, and the emergence of a new framework that can better account for these anomalies. The dominant paradigm guides research and defines the norms of scientific practice, while accumulating anomalies create a crisis that challenges the existing beliefs. Ultimately, a scientific revolution occurs when a new paradigm is accepted, transforming the scientific field and its methodologies.
What do gene mutations provide for a population?
A mutation is a change in the genetic code of one allele of your genetic code. ( rarely does mutation affect both alleles ) Most mutations are neutral, some are deleterious, but sometimes a mutation in the germ line can convey some slight advantage to progeny. An example of this is lactose tolerance in some peoples of the world.
If a mutation introduces a new skin color in a lizard population what factor might determine weather the frequency of the new allele will increase?
Simple put, let us say that color was a better camouflage coloration in any environment the lizard found itself. Then that better camouflage hid the lizard better from its predators. Then those lizards possessing this new mutation would survive longer, have greater reproductive success and drive a larger frequency of these mutant alleles that conferred this advantage into the populations gene pool.
What is false about a dominant allele?
A common misconception about dominant alleles is that they are always more beneficial or "better" than recessive alleles. In reality, the effects of alleles depend on the specific traits they influence, and dominant alleles can sometimes lead to harmful or undesirable traits. Additionally, the presence of a dominant allele does not guarantee that an individual will express a trait if other genetic or environmental factors play a significant role.
Is this true or false in codominance the alleles are neither dominant nor recessive?
True - in codominance neither allele is dominant or recessive. Codominance results in both alleles being expressed in the phenotype (characteristics of the organism). For example, if R is red and W is white - a flower with the genotype RW would have white petals with red patches (or something similar).
What are the letters for alleles?
You decide that. All you have to do is define them before you start. The dominant gene is denoted by a capital letter, the recessive one by a lower case letter. It is better to pick a letter which has different forms for the capital and lower case letters (like A and a; not S and s).
What is the difference between incomplete dominance and codominance?
co dominance is when there is no dominant or reccessive traits just lie in in incomplete dominance the diffrence is in co dominance the are mkore chromosomes
Is it normal for a college student to be good at math but a sucker at writing?
Yes. Most people are either math and science oriented or language oriented. Few are naturally good at both. Most people are either left brain dominant or right brain dominant. If you are left brain dominant you are better at math and science, right brain dominant is better with languages.
How is a recessive alle different from a dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
When neither of the genes are dominant or recessive the genes are said to be?
genes can be codominant for example in blood groups a person can be A,B,AB or O. neither A nor B is more or less dominant than each other but they are dominant over O. there are many other types of dominance/recessive relationships in genes. you could look up epistasis on wikipedia to get a better idea of the bigger picture.
Dominant and recessive genes?
Dominant genes are shown for example as T recessive genes are shown as t if there is a dominant and recessive gene (Tt) then your child will get the dominant one this is called heterozygous. Meaning that they have two different genes for a trait such as curly hair and straight hair. There is also being homozygous (TT or tt) the only way your child could recieve a recessive gene such as left handednes, is if the two parents were carrying a recessive gene along with their dominant one or if they both were carrying two reccesive genes. the childs probable genotype can be explaind a lot better with a Punnet Square. I hope this wasn't too confusing.:-)
Why does writing look better with the dominant hand versus the non-dominant hand?
People have better fine motor skills with the dominant hand.
What is the motto of Naturally Advanced?
The motto of Naturally Advanced is 'Naturally, we have a better way'.
Is A mutation harmful to an organism if it?
makes the organism better able to avoid predators.
