Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
false
The allele causes a certain type of protein to form
Acquired Trait
Yes, an allele is a variant form of a gene that determines a specific characteristic or trait in an organism.
true
A recessive trait is one that is not expressed when paired with a dominant trait. It may only be visually evident when both copies of the gene carry the recessive form.

Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
false
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
The allele causes a certain type of protein to form
No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
