individuals that are heterozygous for alleles
A homozygous recessive organism would have two copies of the same recessive allele for a particular gene. This means that both alleles carried by the organism would be the recessive form.
No, a phenotype refers to the observable traits or characteristics of an individual, which result from the interaction of its genotype (the genetic makeup, including both dominant and recessive alleles) with the environment. Recessive alleles can influence phenotype, but they do so only when two copies are present, as their effects are masked by dominant alleles. Therefore, a phenotype encompasses all expressed traits, not just those linked to recessive alleles.
The two types of alleles for traits are dominant alleles and recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are expressed when at least one copy is present, while recessive alleles are only expressed when two copies are present.
Actually, it is the recessive.................................................................UR WELCOME! :)
Dominant alleles override recessive alleles. For instance, if there is both a dominant allele and a recessive allele present the dominant allele will be the trait that you end up with. If you have two recessive alleles, then you will have the recessive trait. :::::::::::::::brown eyes overrided blue eyes, because they are darker:::::::::::::::::: usually a darker color overpowered/override the lighter ones....i dont really know why but my science teacher said so......
The reason many harmful alleles are recessive is because the harmful alleles that were dominant stopped the carrier from reproducing so the allele was not carried on. A dominant trait is expressed if present and would harm the carrier. A recessive trait however can remain in the genotype of an individual and not the phenotype so they will not be harmed by the trait but can pass it on to offspring. In short: dominant harmful alleles stopped the carriers from producing so the allele was not spread.
A homozygous recessive organism would have two copies of the same recessive allele for a particular gene. This means that both alleles carried by the organism would be the recessive form.
Recessive alleles are expressed only when two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring. In this case, if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, it will show the recessive trait.
Two copies of the recessive allele are the only way a recessive trait is expressed phenotypically.
A homozygous genotype with both alleles being recessive is called a homozygous recessive genotype. This means that both copies of the gene are the same recessive allele, resulting in the expression of the recessive trait.
Genes can exist in different forms called alleles. Dominant alleles are expressed when present, masking the effects of recessive alleles. Recessive alleles are only expressed when two copies are present, one from each parent. This results in a wide range of possible genetic combinations and expressions.

A trait that appears only when both alleles are present is called a recessive trait. In this case, the trait is masked when the dominant allele is present, but becomes visible when two copies of the recessive allele are inherited.
Dominant alleles override recessive alleles. For instance, if there is both a dominant allele and a recessive allele present the dominant allele will be the trait that you end up with. If you have two recessive alleles, then you will have the recessive trait. :::::::::::::::brown eyes overrided blue eyes, because they are darker:::::::::::::::::: usually a darker color overpowered/override the lighter ones....i dont really know why but my science teacher said so......
