Heterozygous means that it carries both dominant and recessive traits (as opposed to homozygous which carries only one) - the dominant trait is the one which is expressed (phenotype).
A heterozygous trait can be expressed as Rr - "R" the dominant trait and "r" the recessive trait.
What else can I help you with?
How is a recessive alle different from a dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
When both alleles of a gene are different what is the indivisual?
When an individual has two different alleles for a gene, they are said to be heterozygous for that gene. This means that they have one dominant allele and one recessive allele for that particular trait.
If the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait rather than a recessive one could it still be balanced polymorphism?
Yes, if the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait, it could still be a form of balanced polymorphism. In a dominant scenario, individuals with one copy of the allele would express the trait. In this case, heterozygous individuals would have the sickle cell trait, potentially providing a selective advantage against malaria, similar to how carriers of the recessive trait do in the current situation.
How Do recessive and dominant alleles get filled into a punnet square?
here is an example: key: dark hair - H (dominant) light hair - h (recessive) father: Hh mother: hh father's alleles: H & h mother's alleles: all h punnet square: father's __H____l____h_____ Mothers: h l Hh l hh The father's dominant H allele combines with the mother's h allele produces Hh The father's reccesive h allele combins with the mother's h allele produces hh therefore the possible combinations of alleles are Hh and hh. 1/2 of their children will have dark hair and 1/2 of their children will have light hair
How would the smiley faces change if one the parents were reccesive for all the traits while the other was heterozygous?
If one parent is recessive for all traits (homozygous recessive) and the other is heterozygous for those traits, the offspring would display a mix of phenotypes. Each trait would have a 50% chance of being inherited as the dominant phenotype (from the heterozygous parent) and a 50% chance of being recessive (from the homozygous recessive parent). Therefore, the resulting smiley faces would likely show a combination of dominant and recessive traits, reflecting this genetic variation.

What is a purebread organism?
I think that the organism is reccesive that's why it's called a purebread!!!!!!!
Is downs syndrome dominant or reccesive?
Down syndrome is not classified as a dominant or recessive genetic trait; rather, it is typically caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, a condition known as trisomy 21. This chromosomal abnormality occurs as a random event during cell division and is not inherited in a traditional Mendelian sense. Therefore, it does not follow the patterns of dominance or recessiveness seen in single-gene traits.
What are recess?
There are two types of traits, recessive and dominant. One is more likely to appear in a following generation than the other. Say, one person with black hair is partners to someone with red hair. Black hair is a more dominant trait than red. Their kids will more likely have black, in following generations though you can still have someone with red hair pop up down the line because the gene is always there and because of its recessive nature it can go generations without coming up again. a reccesive trait is like; if your mom had blue eyes and your dad had brown eyes, you would probably have brown eyes because blue eyes is a reccesive trait
What is a kind of trait that seemed tio vanish in the offspring produced in mendels first experiment?
reccesive
What is an example of a reccesive gene?
In humans, the gene that codes for the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is an expmple of a recessive gene
What does reccesive trait mean?
A recessive trait is one that will only be expressed when in the presence of two recessive alleles.
What is a heterozygous indivisual who doesnt show a reccesive genetic disorder but who can pass a reccesive allele on to their offspring is called what?
The individual is called a carrier. This means they carry a recessive allele for a genetic disorder, but they do not exhibit symptoms of the disorder themselves. However, they can pass on the recessive allele to their offspring.
Dominant and recessive genes?
Dominant genes are shown for example as T recessive genes are shown as t if there is a dominant and recessive gene (Tt) then your child will get the dominant one this is called heterozygous. Meaning that they have two different genes for a trait such as curly hair and straight hair. There is also being homozygous (TT or tt) the only way your child could recieve a recessive gene such as left handednes, is if the two parents were carrying a recessive gene along with their dominant one or if they both were carrying two reccesive genes. the childs probable genotype can be explaind a lot better with a Punnet Square. I hope this wasn't too confusing.:-)
