You would use a capital letter. And for the recessive a lower case.
For example.
Brown hair is dominant over blonde.
B for Brown (the dominant)
And b for Blonde (the recessive)
If one parent is homozygous dominant for all traits (carrying two dominant alleles for each trait), and the other parent is heterozygous (carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait), there would be a 100% chance that the baby would inherit the dominant alleles from the homozygous dominant parent. Therefore, the baby would also be heterozygous for all the traits, carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait.
It would depend on if the dominant genes are the same or different. Say the dominant alleles were different. In this case, they are co-dominant. If they are the same and both dominant homosytus.
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
Homozygous Dominant for a trait means that an organism has two dominant alleles for that trait. Here's an example: Trait: Widow's Peak Widow's Peak allele: Dominant (D) No widow's peak allele: Reccessive(d) Homozygous Dominant (DD) Homozygous Reccessive (dd) Heterozygous (Dd)
The trait that would be expressed in a heterozygous genotype would be the dominant trait. If one allele is dominant then it will be expressed.
Heterozygous.
It would be definite that you have that gene or trait.
The observable characteristic are called the genotype and any dominant trait can mask the recessive. An example would be Black Angus cattle can actually carry a red recessive trait because black is the dominant trait in cattle breeding
If a trait is dominant, then an organisms heterozygous (hybrid) for that trait would normally show: A) The recessive trait only B) The dominant trait only C) A blend of the recessive and dominant traits D) A phenotype unlike that of either parent B) The dominant trait only! Reason being because heterozygous means the pair of genes are different. When this occurs, only the dominant trait is expressed.
One allele would be dominant and the second allele would be recessive, so the organism would show only the dominant trait.
Dominant trait is a genetics term. A dominant trait is one which will be expressed if one of the parents has the gene for that trait. A recessive trait is one that will be expressed only if both parents carry the trait.
A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.
A mutation can be either recessive or dominant depending on what trait it is.
A dominant trait is part of genetics in which a trait will appear in an offspring if one parent contributes it. For example, if one parent contributes the dominant trait of dark hair and the other contributes the recessive trait of light hair, the offspring would have dark hair.
False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.
If one trait is dominant over the other, then you would expect all of the offspring to have the dominant trait.
