An individual expressing a recessive trait possesses two copies of the recessive allele, as this trait is only phenotypically visible when the dominant allele is absent. For example, in a gene with dominant (A) and recessive (a) alleles, an individual with the genotype "aa" will exhibit the recessive trait, while those with "AA" or "Aa" genotypes will display the dominant trait. This expression of the recessive trait can be influenced by factors such as genetic background and environmental conditions.
A human baby boy would most likely show the trait coded for by a recessive allele if he inherits the same recessive allele from his father as well. Since males have one X and one Y chromosome, the trait would manifest if the recessive allele is on the X chromosome and there is no dominant allele present from the Y chromosome. If the mother is a carrier (heterozygous) or expresses the trait (homozygous recessive), the boy could inherit the recessive allele and exhibit the trait.
You wouldn't see a recessive trait if an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for that trait. In this case, the dominant allele's phenotype will be expressed, masking the recessive trait. The recessive trait would only be visible if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
A recessive trait is a trait with two contrasting alleles. In some cases contrasting alleles for a trait are codominan, that is, both are expressed.
Yes, a human pedigree can be used to detect a recessive trait by tracking the inheritance pattern of the trait within a family. Patterns such as multiple affected siblings, skip generations, and consanguinity can help identify recessive trait inheritance. Pedigree analysis can reveal carriers of the trait even if they do not show symptoms.
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
Not my answer
The observable characteristic are called the genotype and any dominant trait can mask the recessive. An example would be Black Angus cattle can actually carry a red recessive trait because black is the dominant trait in cattle breeding

An x-linked recessive trait is a trait located on a x gene that is not dominant. It typically will show up when there is only 1 x gene, in the instance of males. Color blindness is an example.
It is a recessive trait
A human baby boy would most likely show the trait coded for by a recessive allele if he inherits the same recessive allele from his father as well. Since males have one X and one Y chromosome, the trait would manifest if the recessive allele is on the X chromosome and there is no dominant allele present from the Y chromosome. If the mother is a carrier (heterozygous) or expresses the trait (homozygous recessive), the boy could inherit the recessive allele and exhibit the trait.
the characters and habits that the offspring does not carry of the parents is known as recessive characters. example-woman-curl hair and fair body man-straight hair and black body. offspring-curl hair and black body in the above example, fair body and straight hair are the recessive characters that the child does not carry.
A dominate trait will most likely take over the recessive.
A recessive trait is a trait that is not shown or expressed physically but is retained within the persons genes, whereas a dominant trait is a trait which opresses the recessive trait and is prodominantly shown or expressed physically. For example it is possible for two red-haired parents, both with recessive dark haired genes, to have a dark haired child. they must both have the recessive gene or the dominant gene of red - hair will be expressed in the child
'Albinism' (being an albino, without skin pigmentation) is an example of a recessive trait. Specifically, it is an expressed recessive trait, because that person does not have the dominant gene at all, only two copies of a recessive gene. For a person to be an albino, his/her parents BOTH had to have the recessive gene and the offspring had to inherit THOSE TWO copies and can now only 'express' the recessive gene. There is no dominant gene to undo the albino trait. Side note: there is more than one form of albinism recognized in medical science, but all are examples of recessive traits. Another example of a recessive trait would be 'sickle-cell disease/anemia.'
