What will always hide a recessive trait?
A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.
How do you get brown eyes from blue eyed parents?
if you go back to the beginning of your family tree, maybe a family member had brown eyes brown eyes is a dominate trait and blue eyes is a recessive trait, even tho they may both show the recessive trait they may both poses the brown eyes dominate trait and pass it onto you and you will show it. as the name implies you are more likely to show the dominate trait (75% chance dominate and 255 chance recessive). interestingly enough this means that you do have the recessive blue eye trait but you do not show it.
How do dominate traits over power the recessive?
Dominant traits are expressed over recessive traits because the dominant allele codes for a functional protein that masks the effects of the recessive allele. In a heterozygous individual carrying one dominant and one recessive allele, the dominant allele is expressed, leading to the dominant trait being observed.
If the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait rather than a recessive one could it still be balanced polymorphism?
Yes, if the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait, it could still be a form of balanced polymorphism. In a dominant scenario, individuals with one copy of the allele would express the trait. In this case, heterozygous individuals would have the sickle cell trait, potentially providing a selective advantage against malaria, similar to how carriers of the recessive trait do in the current situation.
The difference between a dominate and a recessive trait is?
A dominant trait is expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while a recessive trait is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. Dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.
What contains both a dominate trait and a recessive trait?
heterozygous?
Would a mutation be a dominate or a recessive trait?
A mutation can be either recessive or dominant depending on what trait it is.
What will always hide a recessive trait?
A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.
A male will always transmit a recessive trait to his son?
no not always they can transmit a dominate trait also
How can the alleles that control that trait be described?
One dominate, one recessive
An individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring has a 50% chance of the dominate trait (while being heteroygous) and a 50% chance of having the recessive trait ( homozygous recessive).
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
What does recessive mean in genetic term?
Recessive is the opposite of dominate, not as powerful of an influence on whether or not it will become the chosen trait on a punnett square.
Recessive allele different from dominate allele?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
Are dominate traits always the most common?
Yes, there is no possibility of a Recessive trait being dominant.
What do you call an organism that possesses one dominate and one recessive genes for a single trait?
heterozygous
What do you call a organism that possesses one dominate and one recessive genes for a single trait?
heterozygous
