not to sure what your question is asking, if you want to know whether a gene can be anything other than dominant or recessive, then... some genes are co-dominant meaning both genes are expressed in the phenotype.

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.


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


Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?

In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.


What is an organism that has a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene?

dogs have a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene


What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?

A dominant gene will exhibit its traits even in the presence of a recessive gene. This is because the dominant gene masks the expression of the recessive gene when present in the same individual.


Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?

If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.


What form of gene that always shows even in the presence of recessive allele?

The dominant gene always shows up in the presence of a recessive allele. This is because the dominant gene masks the expression of the recessive gene when both are present in an individual's genetic makeup.


How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?

It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene


Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?

if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)


A gene is recessive when?

Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.


Can two dominant genes equal a recessive gene?

it could but then u would be deformed but usually it cant


Can a recissive gene be dominant?

No, a recessive gene cannot be dominant. In genetics, dominant genes are expressed over recessive genes when present in an individual's genotype. This means that if a gene is recessive, it will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of that specific recessive gene.
