What is a person who has a dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene?

A person who has one dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene is typically considered to be affected by the condition if the disease is caused by the dominant allele. In this case, the dominant allele's effects will manifest, overshadowing the recessive allele. The individual may not express traits associated with the recessive allele, as the dominant trait takes precedence.


If an offspring receives a pair of trait-controllers containing both a dominant and a recessive trait what happens to the recessive trait?

Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?

bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.


Why wouldn't you see a recessive trait?

You wouldn't see a recessive trait if an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for that trait. In this case, the dominant allele's phenotype will be expressed, masking the recessive trait. The recessive trait would only be visible if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
