We call a gene that has two different alleles heterozygous.
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.
The genotype of a person who is a carrier of an autosomal recessive trait is typically heterozygous, meaning they carry one copy of the recessive allele and one copy of the dominant allele for that trait. This would be represented as Aa, with the lowercase "a" representing the recessive allele.
Widow's peak is a dominant trait. This means that if a person inherits one copy of the gene for a widow's peak from either parent, they will have a widow's peak.
its different because adominant allele is in charge
CF is recessive, and as such, the gene for non-CF is dominant over this gene. The CF gene will only be expressed in the phenotype and as a characteristic if the person has two of the recessive alleles.
dogs have a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene
because it dominates the phenotype
The genotype of a person who is a carrier of an autosomal recessive trait is typically heterozygous, meaning they carry one copy of the recessive allele and one copy of the dominant allele for that trait. This would be represented as Aa, with the lowercase "a" representing the recessive allele.
Widow's peak is a dominant trait. This means that if a person inherits one copy of the gene for a widow's peak from either parent, they will have a widow's peak.
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).
its different because adominant allele is in charge
no, because dominant is different from recessive, its impossible to have a dominant-recessive trait because the dominant is when only one copy of the gene is present, while in the recessive a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring, in short the dominant is for single parent, while in the recessive is a product of two parents.
CF is recessive, and as such, the gene for non-CF is dominant over this gene. The CF gene will only be expressed in the phenotype and as a characteristic if the person has two of the recessive alleles.
A disorder can be either dominant or recessive, depending on the specific genetic inheritance pattern. Dominant disorders only require one copy of the mutated gene to be expressed, while recessive disorders require two copies.
There would likely be more children with the dominant phenotype because it only requires one copy of the dominant allele to express the dominant trait, whereas the recessive phenotype requires two copies of the recessive allele.
Dominant traits are expressed when just one copy of the gene is present, while recessive traits require two copies to be expressed. Dominant traits mask recessive traits when they are both present.
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
