A dominant gene will be expressed if paired with a recessive gene or with a dominant gene for the same trait. For example, the trait for brown eyes (BB) is dominant over blue eyes (bb) - thus an offspring Bb will express brown eyes, just as BB.

Mendel called the trait that was always expressed the dominant trait.


What gene that is always expressed and will produce a trait?

The gene that is always expressed and will produces a trait is a genetic statistic. This statistic is what is created when the gene is dominant.


What will always hide a recessive trait?

A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.


A trait which always appears when it is present is called what kind of trait?

A trait that always appears when it is present is called an obligate trait. This means that the trait is consistently expressed whenever the underlying genetic or environmental conditions are present.


What are alleles for a particular trait that are always expressed are said to be?

Dominant alleles. Dominant alleles will always be expressed in the phenotype, even if only one copy is present in the genotype.


Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?

Recessive traits are not expressed when the dominant form is present. This is because the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition. Only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele will the recessive trait be expressed.


In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?

recessive


When a trait is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is the definiton of?

The trait that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is known as a recessive trait. It is masked by the dominant trait in individuals carrying both alleles.


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.


What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?

It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.


A red-eyed fly mates with a blue-eyed fly. The offspring all have red eyes. What is the dominant trait?

A dominant trait, when present, is always expressed. So if the offspring of a red eyed and blue eyed mating are all red, then red must be dominant because it is the trait expressed.


When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?

A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
