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)

How would a baby change if one parent was homozygous dominant for all the traits and the other parent was heterozygous?

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.


A trait which results from two dominant genes is called?

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 recessive gene for a trait?

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.


What does it mean that an organism is homozygous dominant for a 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)


What genotype will be produced by a heterozygous?

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.

An organism carrying one dominant and dominant and one recessive allele for a particular trait would be what for that trait?

Heterozygous.


Dominant gene plus Dominant gene?

It would be definite that you have that gene or trait.


What is an observable trait of an organism that can mask a recessive 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 pattern of inheritance for a trait is complete dominance then an organism heterozygous for the trait would normally express?

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.


How can an organism have two different alleles for one trait but show one observable trait?

One allele would be dominant and the second allele would be recessive, so the organism would show only the dominant trait.


What is a dominate 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.


What type of trait prevents the other type from being seen?

A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.


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 is a dominat trait dictionary?

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.


A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?

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.


What would you expect if you breed or mate 2 different true breeding stocks of plants?

If one trait is dominant over the other, then you would expect all of the offspring to have the dominant trait.


Which two combinations of allels could produce a trait controlled by a dominant allele?
