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)
If an offspring receives a pair of trait-controllers containing both a dominant and a recessive trait what happens to the recessive trait?
The dominant trait is shown in that organism with the possibility of carrying either the dominant or recessive gene to the next generation
What trait masksthe othor form of a trait?
The dominant trait masks the recessive trait.
What did mendel call a masking trait?
dominant trait?
Is this statement true or false Mendel found that the dominant trait allows the expression of the recessive trait?
False. Mendel's experiments demonstrated that dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in heterozygous individuals. This means that the dominant trait is expressed while the recessive trait remains hidden. Thus, the recessive trait does not get expressed when a dominant trait is present.
Is sectoral heterochromia inherited?
Yes, sectoral heterochromia can be inherited through genetics. It occurs when there is a variation in the amount of melanin in different parts of the iris, which can be passed down from parents to children.
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.
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 is a trait that masks a trait called?
A trait that masks another trait is called a dominant trait. This means that when an organism carries both dominant and recessive alleles for a particular gene, only the dominant trait will be expressed in the phenotype.
A trait that appears or is expressed in the f1 generation is what?
A trait that appears or is expressed in the F1 generation is considered dominant. Dominant traits will manifest themselves in the offspring when at least one parent carries the dominant allele for that trait.
The form of a trait that appears to mask another form the same trait is called what?
The form of a trait that appears to mask another form of the same trait is called the dominant trait. Dominant traits will be expressed over recessive traits in a heterozygous individual.
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
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)
Is the trait of raising one eyebrow dominant or recessive?
The trait of raising one eyebrow is considered to be a dominant trait.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
In which offspring does a dominant trait appear?
A dominant trait will appear in offspring that inherits at least one copy of the dominant allele from either parent. If an individual has two different alleles for a trait (one dominant and one recessive), the dominant trait will be expressed.
