The complete expression of both alleles (i.e. for example, a black and white cow), is known as co-dominance, when each allele is equally dominant over the other. However, both alleles may be expressed in the form of an intermediate as well (i.e. white and red alleles forming a pink intermediate for flower petals), known as incomplete dominance, when neither allele is completely dominant over the other.
What else can I help you with?
What is the type of allele that only effect the phenotype in the homozygous chromosome?
Recessive. Dominant alleles are expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous individuals (DD or Dd), but recessive alleles are only expressed in homozygous individuals (dd).
What is an allele that produce a trait in the heterozygous condition is?
homozygous
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.
What is the difference between a dominant and recessive allele?
Dominant is an allele that can be expressed in a heterozygous individual (ie. Bb) or homozygous dominant (ie. BB). Recessive on other hand are traits that will only be expressed in a homozygous recessive (ie. bb) condition. Under normal circumstances, dominant alleles are the ones expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is not. For example (an extremely simplified example) an heterozygous individual for eye color. (genotype Bb), has one dominant allele, 'B', and one recessive allele, 'b'. Given that B is for brown eyes, and b is for blue eyes, that individual's phenotype would be expressed as brown eyes (and be recessive for blue eyes). Organisms receive one allele for each trait from each parent, thus you have two alleles for each trait.
What gene is masked if it is paired with a dominant gene?
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
What is the type of allele that only effect the phenotype in the homozygous chromosome?
Recessive. Dominant alleles are expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous individuals (DD or Dd), but recessive alleles are only expressed in homozygous individuals (dd).
What genotype will be produced by a heterozygous?
The trait that would be expressed in a heterozygous genotype would be the dominant trait. If one allele is dominant then it will be expressed.
What is an allele that produce a trait in the heterozygous condition is?
homozygous
What are the circumstances under which dominant alleles will be expressed?
Dominant alleles are expressed when an individual has at least one copy of the dominant allele in their genotype. This means that even if there is a recessive allele present, the dominant allele will be the one observed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles mask the expression of recessive alleles when they are both present in an individual's genetic makeup.
The difference between a dominate and a recessive trait is?
A dominant trait is expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while a recessive trait is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. Dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.
How are homozygous and heterozygous allele combinations for a particular trait in plants different?
A homozygous trait is expressed when 2 of the same alleles make up the genotype. For example, if two alleles (A and a) were present, the homozygous trait would be either AA or aa. In general, a fully recessive trait is only expressed when it's homozygous.
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.
Is AA an homozygous or an heterozygous?
AA could be either homozygous or heterozygous, depending on whether the individual inherited the same allele (A) from both parents (homozygous) or different alleles (Aa) from each parent (heterozygous).
What is the heterozygous for the A allele?
Heterozygous for the A allele means having one copy of the A allele and one copy of a different allele (e.g., a or B) at a particular gene locus. In genetics, the term heterozygous refers to an individual possessing two different forms (alleles) of a particular gene.
How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?
They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous allele
What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
Homozygous dominant individuals have two copies of the dominant allele for a trait, homozygous recessive individuals have two copies of the recessive allele, and heterozygous individuals have one copy of each allele. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals will express the dominant trait, while homozygous recessive individuals will express the recessive trait.
What would the alleles of a heterozygous trait look like?
In a heterozygous individual, the alleles for a trait are different. Each allele may be represented by a different letter (e.g., Aa), where one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. The dominant allele is typically expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is not unless the individual is homozygous recessive.
