A recessive trait can only be passed along if both parents carry at least one of the recessive genes to the child. If both parents manifest the trait (that is, if both parents have both recessive genes), then the child will manifest (that is, carry both recessive genes and display) the recessive trait. If one parent manifests and the other parent only carries the trait (that is, carries one dominant and one recessive gene) then the child will definitely carry and have a 50% chance of manifesting. If both parents carry the recessive, the child is 25% likely not to carry the trait at all, 50% likely to carry and 25% likely to manifest the trait.

What is meaning of recessive traits?
an inherited character determined by a recessive gene
Why are some traits not inherited?
Some of these traits are recessive and are not actually seen but are there.
What type of traits is inherited if an organism receives recessive alleles?
The trait received is recessive.
What are those inherited traits?
Inherited traits are things such as hair color, eye color, height, etc. These are determined by the recessive and dominant genes passed on by the biological parents.
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 term describes inherited traits that are invisible?
Recessive traits are inherited traits that are masked or not expressed when an individual possesses a dominant allele for the same characteristic. These traits can remain hidden through generations and only manifest when the individual inherits two recessive alleles.
What are some similarities between dominant and recessive traits?
Similarty: They both come from inherited parents.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
What is recessive traite?
relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, i.e., when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent.
Why are ratios so important in understanding how dominant and recessive traits are inherited?
Ratios are important in understanding how dominant and recessive traits are inherited because they provide a quantitative way to measure the likelihood of specific genetic outcomes occurring in offspring. By analyzing ratios of dominant and recessive traits in offspring, genetic patterns and inheritance mechanisms can be better understood and predicted. Ratios help to determine the probability of an offspring inheriting specific traits based on the parents' genotypes.
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called?
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called Recessive traits. - Nikkkki
Is hemophilia A inherited as a recessive or dominant trait?
