It is possible for many people to display a recessive trait because the people have two recessive genes. Dominant simply means it will trump a recessive gene, it does not mean it is the most widely seen gene in a species.

Why do recessive trail are more common in some cases?

They're not necessarily, but they can be. When a recessive trait is more common, it likely because it was advantageous to have that trait so the species evolved to have more of it in the gene pool. Also, since dominant traits are expressed over recessive traits, natural selection has more of an effect on them.

Condition of being heterozygous for a recessive trait?

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'.

How is people power involved in the 1967 referendum?

A referendum occurs when the Government puts forward a motion to the Australian public regarding possible changes to the Constitution. Essentially, to change the constitution, a double majority result is needed to invoke such a change. This means that majority of people in the majority of states must approve of the change. Essentially people power is involved in this due to the majority of people saying that they wanted the change. Their legal and constitutional right to vote gave them the opportunity to do this.


Which trait will be expressed if both dominant gene and recessive gene are in the gene pair?

The current school of thought is that a dominant gene needs only a single copy to express its coding where as a recessive gene needs two copies of itself. The different forms of a gene are called alleles. Each parent contributes an allele. For example brown eyes and blue eyes. A blue eyed person would have two blue eye genes. A brown eyed person would have at least one brown eyed gene and either a blue or brown eyed companion. Hence two blue eyed people should only have blue eyed children. Two brown eyed people could possibly have either blue or brown eyed children. Science is discovering that genes interact in very complex ways. There is dominance, recessive, codominance, corecessive, and interactions between multiple genes to produce an outcome. While the reporting of DNA research and discoveries may make it seem we have an understanding of how genes work the reality is that the study of DNA and its functions is still in its infancy.


Is it true that people who are heterozygous recessive allele but who have a normal phenotype eill not pass the harmful recessive allele to their kids?

It depends on the genotype of the childs other parent. If your partner is heterozygous as well then there is a 25% chance your child will be homozygous recessive. If they are homozygous dominant then none of your children will have the phenotype of the recessive trait. They will just possibly be carriers of the recessive allele.
