Why are individuals with genotype AA prone to malaria?
They do not carry the sickle cell allele, a. Individuals that are heterozygous have the advantage of being more resistant to malaria than homozygous dominant individuals, but are not affected by the disease.
How is sickle-cell disease a representation of codominance?
It's not sickle-cell itself, but rather being a heterozygous carrier of the disease. People with one dominant and one recessive allele for the disease are immune to malaria without the crippling effects of having sickle-cell anemia. I don't think that it can even represent codominance, though.
What will happen to the recessive allele for PP?
there would be a 100% chance of it being heterozygous (Pp)
WhAT describes the notation Tt for the trait of being tall?
The notation Tt represents a heterozygous genotype for the trait of being tall, where T is the dominant allele for tallness and t is the recessive allele for shortness. This means the individual will exhibit the tall trait because the dominant allele is expressed.
What does the notation Rr mean to geneticists?
The notation Rr indicates that an individual has one dominant allele (R) and one recessive allele (r) for a specific gene. This is known as being heterozygous for that gene. The dominant allele will usually determine the individual's phenotype.
Percentage of heterozygous individuals obtained from selfing Rr individual is?
In the case of selfing an Rr individual - which is heterozygous - you would expect 50% of the offspring to be heterozygous (Rr), as each parent contributes one allele to the offspring. Each allele has a 50% chance of being passed on.
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'.
What term describes an individual that has a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait?
The term for an individual with a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait is "heterozygous." This means they have two different alleles for a specific gene, with one being dominant and the other recessive.
Being a carrier of sickle cell anemia means?
sickle cell anemia is caused by a recessive allele. so for it to affect someone, it means that the person must have received both recessive alleles from their parents. Being a carrier means that you have the recessive allele from one of your parents, but you have a normal dominant allele from the other parent, that means you are not affected by it but you are carrying it.
What are cells that contain two different alleles for a gene one dominant and one recessive?
Heterozygous cells contain two different alleles for a gene, typically with one allele being dominant and the other recessive. This means that the dominant allele will be expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is present but not expressed.
In pea plants the peas produced may be green or yellow with yellow being the dominant form of the allele. What would be the phenotype of a pea plant that is heterozygous for the alleles?
yellow peas
Individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring will all inherit one copy of the dominant allele (from the heterozygous parent) and one copy of the recessive allele (from the homozygous recessive parent). This results in all offspring being heterozygous for the trait.
