When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?

A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.


Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?

Yes, a recessive allele needs to be paired with another recessive allele in order to be expressed. This is because recessive alleles are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.


What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?

incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook


When neither allele is dominant (they are both expressed)?

Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.


Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?

In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.


Does recessive allele is expressed if there is no dominant allele present?

Yes, a recessive allele will be expressed if there is no dominant allele present in the genotype. This is because in the absence of a dominant allele, the recessive allele has the opportunity to be expressed in the phenotype.


What is dominant recessive?

There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).


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

Allele not expressed in heterozygote?

True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?

In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed


How do you write dominant and recessive allels?

normally, the dominant allele is expressed as a capital letter and the recessive allele is expressed as a lowercase letter, if that's what you mean!
