What else can I help you with?
The appearance of a recessive trait in offspring of animals most probably indicates that?
both parents carry a copy of the recessive allele for that trait. This means that the offspring inherits two copies of the recessive allele, expressing the trait. If both parents were carriers of the recessive allele, there is a 25% chance of the offspring inheriting two copies and showing the trait.
If the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait rather than a recessive one could it still be balanced polymorphism?
Yes, if the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait, it could still be a form of balanced polymorphism. In a dominant scenario, individuals with one copy of the allele would express the trait. In this case, heterozygous individuals would have the sickle cell trait, potentially providing a selective advantage against malaria, similar to how carriers of the recessive trait do in the current situation.
What are examples of recessive traits and dominant traits?
That's strictly a human view point. In fact there is no such difference, you just have two different proteins (one from each gene) which have behaviors relative to each other. How we (us, people) interpret the somatic result of the competition between them is labeled "dominant or recessive". For example - assume one form is totally non functional, then the somatic result would be classed as recessive.
The result of a genetic cross can be shown in a Punnett square which is?
to understand the traits and if there dominit or recesive
A gene is a segment of DNA that controls the production of?
yes! :)
Are brown chinchillas rare?
Yes they are rare because brown is a recesive trait

How do you spell recesive?
The correct spelling is recessive (refers to non-dominant gene).

What is recesive ginetic?
A recessive genetic trait is one that is expressed only when an individual carries two copies of the gene for that trait. If an individual carries one copy of the recessive gene and one copy of a dominant gene, the dominant gene will be expressed while the recessive gene remains hidden. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene will only appear if both parents pass on a copy of the recessive gene to their child.
If both parents are a positive can the child be a negative?
yes. because of recessive genes. recesive genes are traits that will not be shown if the dominant gene for that trait is present. every person has at least two alleles(forms of traits) for each trait that is shown. One you see and the other you may not. For example, two parents may have brown eyes, but if they have a child that has blue eyes then you know that the parents must have carried the recessive gene. this is possible because the brown eye allele is dominant and the blue eye allele is recessive. Even though you did not see the blue eye trait in either of the parents it was still present.
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
What causes a branch in a cladogram?
A new trait a derived trait
What trait masksthe othor form of a trait?
The dominant trait masks the recessive trait.
