Characteristic that is inherited that can be either dominant or recessive?
Eye color is an example of a characteristic that can be inherited as either dominant or recessive. Factors such as skin tone, hair color, and height can also be inherited in a similar manner.
What determines whether a person will have dominant or recessive hair color?
Hair color is determined by genes inherited from parents. Dominant genes for hair color will be expressed over recessive genes, resulting in the dominant color being displayed. If both parents pass on recessive genes, the recessive color will be seen.
Is brown skin dominant or recessive?
Dominant - everything is dominant apart from diseases such as malaria, cystic fibrosis
Do you get your eye color from your parent?
Yes you get your eye color from your parent. The parent that carries one dominant gene and one recessive gene for a specific eye color and the other parent carries two recessive genes for a different eye color, you will get the eye color of the parent who carries the dominant and recessive gene. In other words, the dominant gene trumps the recessive gene. In another scenario, if both parents carry two recessive genes for a specific eye color, then you will inherit the recessive gene of that color.
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
What is the color of the baby eyes if the mother have the recessive gene for blue and the father has blue eyes?
I assume you mean the mother has a dominant allele for some other color. Father is homozygous recessive for blue. Dominant allele + recessive blue X recessive blue + recessive blue The baby has a 50% chance of blue eyes and a 50% chance of getting the dominant colored eyes.
A living thing with a dominant and recessive gene for a trait?
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
What is colour blindness recessive?

Is melanoma dominant or recessive?

What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
