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)
How are autosomal disorders passed down?
the disorder is usually either autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant. they are passed down from the parents to the next generation. autosomal reccessive diseases only are when one parent gives one reccessive allele and the other parent gives the other reccessive allele. A dominant autosomal disorder can be inherited with one or two of the alleles.
What is a hinged tongue called?
A hinged tongue is commonly referred to as a retractable or folding tongue. This type of tongue can be folded or retracted to save space or for convenience when not in use, typically found on trailers or towing equipment.
How do dominant and reccessive factors interact?
Dominant and recessive factors interact through the principles of inheritance, where dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles in a heterozygous genotype. This means that if an organism carries one dominant and one recessive allele for a trait, the dominant trait will be expressed in the phenotype. Recessive traits only manifest when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. Thus, the presence of a dominant allele can overshadow the influence of a recessive allele in determining observable characteristics.
What is a hinged tongue?
A hinged tongue is a type of tongue on a trailer that can be folded or pivoted to better accommodate the movement of the trailer when it is being towed. This design allows for better maneuverability and helps in tight spaces.
What are heterozygous also called?
heterozygous genotypes are two different traits which one is reccessive and one is dominant. to be homozygous means that both the traits are either both reccessive or both dominant
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)
How long is a ball pythons tongue?
It is twice the length of its tongue folded in half
What is the dominant type of stress associated with folded mountains?
The dominant type of stress associated with folded mountains is compressional stress caused by tectonic plate collision. As plates converge, the rocks are squeezed and folded, leading to the formation of folded mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Appalachians.
What is the dominant type of stress associated with folded?
Answer: Compressional stress.
Is being able to roll your tongue a dominant or a recessive trait?
Being able to roll your tongue is dominant, not being able to is recessive. Therefore, if you can roll your tongue, you have either a homozygous dominant gene for being able to roll your tongue, or a heterozygous gene. If you cannot, then you have a homozygous recessive gene.
What is the letter form in dominant and recessive trait?
It depends on what your trait is. Let's say that your trait was tongue roller. Rolling your tongue is dominant over non-tongue rollers so we would use R for Rolling your tongue. For the recessive trait, non-tongue roller, we use the same letter as the dominant trait except it is lowercase. So non-tongue roller would be r.
How are autosomal disorders passed down?
the disorder is usually either autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant. they are passed down from the parents to the next generation. autosomal reccessive diseases only are when one parent gives one reccessive allele and the other parent gives the other reccessive allele. A dominant autosomal disorder can be inherited with one or two of the alleles.
Mendel used what term to describe heterozygous pea plants?
He used the term hybrid.

When an allele mask the presence of another allele it is said to be?
Dominent. Simple- you have two types of Alleles, Dominent and Reccessive. Imagine a punnet square for the allele that causes albinoism (A). One parent has Aa, or one dominent allele and one reccessive allele for the trait. If the dominent skin-tone gene wasn't there (A), then it would be AA and he would be an albino. But since he has a dominent allele, he has normal color. If he made a baby with another Aa combination, they would have 25% chance of having an AA baby with no reccessive allele, a 50% chance of having an identical Aa combination, and a 25% chance of having an albino baby, AA.
What color would baby's eyes be if both parents had brown eyes but grandmother had blue?
the baby will have brown eyes. this is because the gene for brown eyes is dominant, which means that it will always over rule a recessive gene (blue) eye gene and the only way a recessive gene could show up in a person is if there is no dominant gene present to push this gene out of the way. in other words, the only way the babyc ould have blue eyes is if both the parents had recccessive blue eye genes. however, you can be a carruer of a reccessive gene, as we have two genes of every kind. for example, one parent could have a dominant brown and a reccessive blue. but this wouldn't show in a person as blue is reccessive. get it? let me know if you need any more information on genetics. :)
