What are alleles and what are the two forms?
Alleles are different versions of a gene that can code for different traits. The two forms of alleles are dominant and recessive. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles when present together in an individual's genotype.
Are dominant traits more likely to be inheritd then recessive traits?
Yes. When looking at Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance, the Dominant allele will always be inherited by the offspring, as it is more potent than the 'weaker' recessive allele (unless the recessive allele is present in both parents; this can be in the form of Aa or aa, but it must be present in both for the recessive allele to be present in the offspring). There are other cases, though, such as co-dominance, in which recessive alleles are more likely to be present in the offspring, but speaking in general terms, it is the Dominant (ex. AA / Aa) alleles that show up more commonly in offspring than the recessive (ex. aa) alleles.
Is webbed feet dominant or recessive?
recessive.
The weaker of two genes is called what?
The weaker of two genes is called the recessive gene. In the presence of a dominant gene, the recessive gene is not expressed in the organism's phenotype.
Traits determined by recessive genes located on the x chromosomes are said to be?
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
True or false dominant traits are represented by a lower case letter and recessive traits are represented by an upper case letter?
False. Dominant traits are typically represented by uppercase letters while recessive traits are represented by lowercase letters.
Dominant traits are represented by a lower case letter and recessive traits are represented by an upper case letter?
No. Dominant traits are uppercase and recessive traits are lowercase.
What are dominant traits represented?
Recessive
What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
How did Mendel represent factors for dominant traits?
Mendel represented factors for dominant traits using uppercase letters, such as "A" for dominant alleles. This convention helps distinguish dominant traits from recessive traits, which are represented by lowercase letters.
Dominant and recessive traits?
In genetics, dominant traits are those that are expressed in an individual's phenotype when only one copy of the allele is present, while recessive traits require two copies of the allele to be expressed. Dominant alleles are represented by a capital letter (e.g., 'A'), while recessive alleles are represented by a lowercase letter (e.g., 'a'). The expression of dominant or recessive traits follows Mendel's laws of inheritance.
How are traits dominant?
Dominant traits are represented as capital letters (D, R, H, J, etc) and recessive traits are represented as lower case letters (d, r, h, j, etc)
How is a dominant trait represented in a punnett square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
Which traits oberved were dominant and recessive?
In genetics, dominant traits are those that are expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while recessive traits are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele and no dominant allele present. Dominant traits often mask recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.
What do organisms pass to their offspring?
They pass on traits. There are recessive traits and dominant traits. The dominant trait is normally the one that overpowers recessive
How dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a Punnett Square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
Do dominate traits have capital letters?
No, dominate traits do not have capital letters. The term "dominant traits" refers to the phenotype that is expressed when an individual has one dominant allele for a particular trait. It is not capitalized unless at the start of a sentence.
