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.
Is arm folding left over right a dominate trait or recessive?
Arm folding left over right is a learned behavior and not determined by genetic dominance or recessiveness. It is influenced by cultural norms, personal preference, and habitual patterns.
Why are recessive alleles not always expressed as the phenotype?
recessive alleles get masked to show the difference in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.
Why is a dominant type called dominate?
A dominant type is called "dominant" because it expresses its traits or characteristics overtly, effectively masking the effects of any recessive types present. In genetics, a dominant allele will produce a phenotype even when only one copy is present, giving it a prevailing influence over the trait. This term reflects the allele's ability to dominate the expression of a trait in an organism's appearance or function.
Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?
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.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
How are dominant and recessive genes related?
Dominate them. Recessive alleles do not show in your phenotype unless you have two of the same recessive allele. But if you inherit one dominant and one recessive, it is the dominant that always shows in your phenotype.
Are alleles dominant or recessive?
Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.
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.
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.
What does dominate mean?
To dominate means being in a position of power & authority over others.
Can a man who has brown eyes and whose both parents have brown eyes produce a blue eyed child if his wife has blue eyes?
yes, if the man with brown eyes had a recessive blue trait. his parents would have to both have the recessive trait as well. the parents with dominate brown (B) with recessive blue (b) eye color traits would create a chart of possible outcomes for their child: B b B bb Bb b Bb bb if the man came out Bb (dominate brown with recessive blue) and had a wife with bb (the only way to have blue eyes is to have two recessive blue traits because if a pair of traits has a Brown then the brwn color will automatically dominate over the blue) the man and the wife will make an eye color chart like this: B b b Bb bb b Bb bb there is a 50/50 chance the child will have blue eyes. if the child has the bb trait then it will have blue eyes.
Is arm folding left over right a dominate trait or recessive?
Arm folding left over right is a learned behavior and not determined by genetic dominance or recessiveness. It is influenced by cultural norms, personal preference, and habitual patterns.
Why do some traits skip a generation?
I like puppies :) Traits 'skip' generations precisely because most traits are not accounted for by a single gene, but by their combination with other genes. There is no brown hair gene, or blue eye gene. These traits may be controlled by recessive genes, so they seem to skip a generation from grandparent to you. For example, if a trait is produced by a recessive gene, one of your parents may be a carrier but not possess the trait (because she inherited a dominant gene that overrode the recessive one). However, when her genes were recombined to produce the ovum from which you grew, and when that combined with your father's DNA, the trait may resurface.
How are dominant and recessive alike?
Both dominant and recessive traits are terms used to describe the inheritance pattern of a specific gene. They are both part of Mendelian genetics, where dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits when present together. Both dominant and recessive alleles can be carried by an individual, with dominant alleles being expressed over recessive ones.
Is dominate is a noun?
Dominate is a verb, in it's noun form it would be Dominator
What is a genotype with one dominant and one recessive gene?
The genotype of a person with one dominate allele for a gene and one recessive would be expressed as Aa or Yy. You can use any letter you would like except one will be shown as a capital (dominate) and one as a lower case (recessive). This combination is heterozygous for that trait.
