An organism's unseen recessive genes are included in its genotype, which is the complete set of genetic information inherited from its parents. While these recessive alleles may not be expressed in the organism's phenotype (the observable traits), they can still be passed to offspring. If an organism carries two copies of a recessive allele, or one copy alongside a dominant allele that does not mask it, the trait can become visible in subsequent generations. Thus, recessive genes play a crucial role in inheritance and genetic variation.

What genes does a homozygous short pea plant always have?
Recessive genes
If an animal with 2 dominant genes for a trait has offspring with an animal with 2 recessive genes for same trait their offspring can only have what?
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
Are dominante and recessive genes responsibile for how baby looks?
Yes, dominant and recessive genes play a role in determining physical traits in offspring. Dominant genes are more likely to be expressed in the phenotype, while recessive genes are typically masked unless an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. This interplay between dominant and recessive genes contributes to the variety of physical characteristics seen in offspring.
Do autosomes have lethal recessive genes?
Yes, autosomes can carry lethal recessive genes. These genes can result in lethal genetic disorders when a person inherits two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, causing the disorder to manifest.
Genes that are not expressed if a dominant gene is present are called?
Recessive genes. These genes are only observed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.
Do dominant genes affect recessive genes?
The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away
Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?
Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
What genes does a homozygous short pea plant always have?
Recessive genes
What do you call oransim that posssses two dominant or two recessive genes for a single trait?
Homozygous dominant for two dominant genes or homozygous recessive for two recessive genes.
Can recessive genes become dominant?
Recessive genes do not become dominant. Dominant genes mask the expression of recessive genes in the presence of both alleles. However, if a recessive gene is selected for over time through breeding, it can become more prevalent in a population.
If an animal with 2 dominant genes for a trait has offspring with an animal with 2 recessive genes for same trait their offspring can only have what?
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
The weaker of two genes is called what?
The weaker of two genes is called the recessive gene. In the presence of a dominant gene, the recessive gene is not expressed in the organism's phenotype.
How do combinations of genes occur?
through dominate and recessive genes
Are dominante and recessive genes responsibile for how baby looks?
Yes, dominant and recessive genes play a role in determining physical traits in offspring. Dominant genes are more likely to be expressed in the phenotype, while recessive genes are typically masked unless an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. This interplay between dominant and recessive genes contributes to the variety of physical characteristics seen in offspring.
What determines whether a person will have dominant or recessive hair color?
Hair color is determined by genes inherited from parents. Dominant genes for hair color will be expressed over recessive genes, resulting in the dominant color being displayed. If both parents pass on recessive genes, the recessive color will be seen.
How do dominant and recessive genes work?
explain how dominant genes work
Do autosomes have lethal recessive genes?
Yes, autosomes can carry lethal recessive genes. These genes can result in lethal genetic disorders when a person inherits two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, causing the disorder to manifest.
