What else can I help you with?
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.
What is arecessive trait?
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
What is recessive triat?
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. This means that the trait will not be observed in the individual if they have at least one dominant allele. Examples of recessive traits include blue eye color and attached earlobes.
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.
What is the name given to the weaker trait that can be covered up by the dominant trai?
The recessive gene - less stronger than the dominant one.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
What was the radio of dominant to recessive phenotype in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiment?
The ratio of dominant to recessive phenotype in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiment was 3:1. This means that for every 3 individuals expressing the dominant trait, there was 1 individual expressing the recessive trait.
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.
If an individual has two ressesive alleles for the same trait the individual is said to be what?
Homozygous recessive for that trait. This means that both alleles at that specific gene locus are the same and code for the recessive trait.
An individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring has a 50% chance of the dominate trait (while being heteroygous) and a 50% chance of having the recessive trait ( homozygous recessive).
What is arecessive trait?
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
When will a recessive trait show its effect?
A recessive trait will be expressed when there is no dominant allele in the genotype for that trait. In a Mendelian trait, where one gene with one dominant and one recessive allele governs a trait, a recessive trait will be expressed when the individual's genotype for that trait is homozygous recessive, meaning that both of the individual's alleles for that trait are recessive.
All individuals that show a recessive trait are?
recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait
What is recessive triat?
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. This means that the trait will not be observed in the individual if they have at least one dominant allele. Examples of recessive traits include blue eye color and attached earlobes.
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.
The allele for the trait that does not appear in a heterozygous individual is?
recessive
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
