Is the white tigers fur mutation dominant or benificial?
Well, the white tigers fur mutation isn't dominant nor beneficial (depends). The allele for white fur in tigers is recessive and even then not many tigers are heterozygous (One dominant allele and one recessive allele for those who do not know) Now it can be beneficial depending where the tigers live, there used to be Siberian Tigers who lived in the snow so it would be beneficial there but white fur will decrease stealth ability in the jungles, therefore alleles can be beneficial or harmful depending on the allele and where the organism lives.
Can a white offspring be a hybrid why?
If the white trait is dominant, then yes. If the white trait is recessive, then no.
What happens when an allele is dominate or recessive?
Well, a dominant allele carries dominant traits from parents to offspring. An example of a dominant trait is brown hair and brown eyes because these traits are most likely to show up on a human than a recessive allele. A recessive allele may carry a recessive trait from parents to offspring such as blonde hair and blue eyes, these are uncommon because they are recessive traits.
What is the phenotype of TtCc?
The phenotype of TtCc would depend on what traits the genes T and C control. In general, if T and C are dominant alleles and control visible traits, the individual would likely exhibit the dominant phenotype for those traits. If T and C are recessive, the individual would need to be homozygous recessive (ttcc) to exhibit the recessive phenotype.
If black hair color is dominant and white color is recessive what color hair does the offspring have?
If one parent has black hair (dominant) and the other parent has white hair (recessive), the offspring will likely have black hair, as the dominant gene for black hair will override the recessive gene for white hair.
If a homozygous dominant is crossed with a homozygous recessive for a given trait the offspring will be?
The phenotype will show the dominant trait. All dominant traits mask recessive ones; If the genotype is heterozygous (One dominant and one recessive) the organism's phenotype will be dominant.
What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles for specific traits?
Dominant is an allele that will always be expressed in a heterozygous individual. Recessive on other hand are traits that will only be expressed in a homozygous condition. Organisms receive one allele for each trait from each parent, thus you have two alleles for each trait.
Can you describe an exception to the dominant and recessive pattern in genetics and provide an example?
An exception to the dominant and recessive pattern in genetics is incomplete dominance, where neither allele is completely dominant over the other. This results in a blending of traits in the offspring. An example of this is in snapdragon flowers, where a red flower crossed with a white flower produces pink flowers.
A cross between homozygous purple-flowered and homozygous white-flowered pea plants results in offspring with purple flowers This demonstrates?
A homozygous purple flower and a homozygous white flower having offspring that are purple is an example of dominance. Traits that yield to other traits is referred to as recessive. So in this case Purple was the dominant trait and White was the recessive trait.
What is the difference between dominant alleles and recessive alleles?
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
How many white tigers in the world?
White tigers are born in only one in 10,000 births of Bengal tigers. It is a recessive gene variation.
What is the intermediate form that led to white tigers?
There is no intermediate form that led to white tigers. White tigers are simply Bengal tigers with a white coat. The white coat is caused by a recessive gene. Bengal tigers are the only subspecies with the recessive gene. Both parents must have the recessive gene, although, both parents can themselves be orange coated. It is the same as humans that have blue eyes. Brown eyed parents can have blue eyed children, but both parents must have the blue eyed recessive gene.
