What is an Dominant allele?
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
What is a form of a gene that always has its effect when it is present?
dominant
When one gene expresses itself over another the former gene is said to be the DNA?
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
Which form of a gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
apples
How is Dominant and Recessive differ?
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.
What are two forms that a gene or allele may take?
A gene or allele may take a dominant form, or a recessive form. If the allele is recessive, the characteristic which is coded for will be exhibited only if both the gene from the male and the gene from the female is recessive. Only one copy of a dominant allele is required to cause expression of the dominant characteristic
Is colorblindness a carried or dominant trait?
The gene is carried and the trait is almost entirely found in males.
What is an Dominant allele?
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
What is a dominant allale?
A dominant allele is a form of gene that masks the presence of a recessive allele when both are present in an individual. This means that the trait associated with the dominant allele will be expressed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles are typically represented by uppercase letters.
When a particular inherited characteristic is controlled more by one gene of a pair than by the other the stronger gene is called?
dominant
What is a form of a gene that always has its effect when it is present?
dominant
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
Will butterfly koi breed with regular koi?
Yes. In fact, the gene that controls the butterfly characteristic is a dominant gene so all the offspring will be butterfly.
What do dominant and recessive alleles have in common?
Alleles are different types of a gene. Each gene controls a characteristic and they is usually a recessive allele and a dominant one. The main similarity is that they both control a certain characteristic!
When a particular inherited characteristic is controlled more by one of a pair than by the other the stronger gene is called?
dominant
Can 2 people with Huntington's Disease produce an offspring who does not have Huntington's disease?
Unfortunately, no. Huntington's is carried on a dominant gene. One parent HD, one non-HD, you have a 50-50 chance of not inheriting that gene. But two parents that are HD, you will inherit the gene from one parent or the other.
What is an autosomal dominant trait?
An autosomal dominant trait is a characteristic that is determined by a dominant gene located on one of the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes). This means that only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed in an individual. Autosomal dominant traits will appear in each generation of a family with affected individuals.
