Dominant and Recessive refer to different types of genes a child gains from its parents. In general, a dominant gene overpowers a recessive gene (like more people have brown eyes than blue eyes), but there are some cases where recessive genes are visible on a child over the dominant gene.
Two types: A heterozygous parent (Aa) and a homoygous recessive parent (aa) can produce phenotypically dominate and phenotpically recessive offspring (with 50% genotypes Aa and the other 50% aa). If the genes are co-dominate then the offspring can have blended traits and recessive traits phenotypically.
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 answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
recessive alleles get masked to show the difference in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.
Dominant traits are expressed over recessive traits because the dominant allele codes for a functional protein that masks the effects of the recessive allele. In a heterozygous individual carrying one dominant and one recessive allele, the dominant allele is expressed, leading to the dominant trait being observed.
Recessive is the opposite of dominate, not as powerful of an influence on whether or not it will become the chosen trait on a punnett square.
recessive
A google search will probably answer your question.
yes, also dominate
yes
A mutation can be either recessive or dominant depending on what trait it is.
Codominance is when 2 dominate genes appear in the phenotype of an organism. (some one else can tell you what dominate and recessive genes are)
Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.
semi-dominant--semi-recessive
an organism's genotype is if the organism is dominate or recessive : /
heterozygous?
Both, depending on the individual person.
