The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
What else can I help you with?
What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
A dominant gene will exhibit its traits even in the presence of a recessive gene. This is because the dominant gene masks the expression of the recessive gene when present in the same individual.
How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
A gene is recessive when?
Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.
What is recessive gene and dominant gene?
A dominant gene is always expressed if present, and the recessive gene is only expressed with the homozygous recessive genotype. For example, if the dominant gene is red (represented by the letter R) and the recessive gene is white (represented by the letter r), then a homozygous dominant organism's genotype will be RR, and its phenotype will be red. If the organism is homozygous recessive, then the genotype will be rr and the phenotype will be white. If the organism is heterozygous, then the genotype will be Rr, and the organism will be red.
What is the difference between a dominant gene and a recessive gene?
In some but not all cases a dominant gene is a functional version (allele) of that gene while a recessive gene is a nonfunctional (or less functional) version (allele) of that gene. As the dominant gene produces a fully normally functioning protein if it is inherited in even just one copy that protein will "dominate" over the protein produced (if any is produced) by the recessive gene. Sometimes there are multiple different dominant alleles and/or multiple different recessive alleles of a specific gene (e.g. human blood types have 2 dominant alleles: A and B that produce different antigen proteins and 1 recessive allele: O that produces no antigen protein).
What is a gene whose effect can be hidden?
A recessive gene is a gene whose effect can be hidden in the presence of a dominant allele. This means that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the recessive allele in order for its effects to be observed.
What is an organism that has a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene?
dogs have a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene
What is dominant and recessive?
These are terms used in a punnet square. Dominant is the Phenotype, or a gene that is predicted to be expressed in a heterozygous being- the offspring of two beings with different traits. Recessive is the Genotype, or a gene that is predicted to be hidden in the Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, (DNA,) of a heterozygous being. Sometimes there is Codominance, where both genes are fully expressed, or incomplete dominance, where the genes are mixed, and are partially expressed.
Which of these is a gene that does not express itself and is concealed by the presence of another gene of the same trait?
A recessive gene is a gene that does not express itself in the presence of a dominant gene of the same trait. When an individual inherits two recessive genes for a trait, the recessive gene will be expressed.
What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
A dominant gene will exhibit its traits even in the presence of a recessive gene. This is because the dominant gene masks the expression of the recessive gene when present in the same individual.
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
What is the form of a gene that is hidden or masked when any other form of that same gene is present?
The hidden or masked form of a gene is called recessive. Recessive genes are only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the recessive allele. When a dominant allele is present, it will be expressed instead of the recessive allele.
How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?
if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)
What is the form of gene that seems to have no impact on a trait in a heterozygous state?
A gene that shows no impact on a trait in a heterozygous state is called a recessive gene. In a heterozygous individual, the dominant gene will determine the trait expressed, while the recessive gene remains hidden.
A gene is recessive when?
Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.
Can two dominant genes equal a recessive gene?
it could but then u would be deformed but usually it cant
