The rfp gene encodes for a red fluorescent protein, which can be expressed in various organisms through genetic engineering techniques. When the rfp gene is transcribed and translated, it produces the red fluorescent protein that emits red light when exposed to specific wavelengths of light. This trait can be visually observed in organisms that have incorporated the rfp gene, allowing researchers to track gene expression, study cellular processes, or mark specific cells in biological studies. The expression of this trait often serves as a valuable tool in molecular Biology and genetic research.
A piece of DNA which controls a trait is a gene variations of a gene are called alleles. If you mean "controls how much a particular trait is expressed" then you would be dealiung with the promoter region of a gene which is near the start and controls how strongly a gene is expressed.
This is known as a dominant trait. Dominant traits require only one copy of the gene to be expressed in an individual. The presence of one dominant allele is sufficient to display the trait, even if the individual also carries a different allele for the same gene.
a section of DNA has information about a specific trait of an organism is called what?
Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
When we say that a gene is expressed, it means that the information encoded in the gene is used by the cell to make a specific protein or functional RNA molecule. This process is known as gene expression.
The gene that is always expressed and will produces a trait is a genetic statistic. This statistic is what is created when the gene is dominant.
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.

Yes, a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait if it is expressed and not masked by a dominant gene. In cases where the individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene, the trait will be expressed.
Yes, if a trait is controlled by a dominant gene, it will be expressed regardless of the instructions of the corresponding gene in the other half of the pair. Dominant genes only require one copy to be expressed in the phenotype.
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.
Dominant trait due to doominant gene (as against recessive 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.
It would be definite that you have that gene or trait.
This is known as a dominant trait. Dominant traits require only one copy of the gene to be expressed in an individual. The presence of one dominant allele is sufficient to display the trait, even if the individual also carries a different allele for the same gene.
