What else can I help you with?
What genes are present in the eggs if the female is ressesive for both traits?
If the female is recessive for both traits, she would carry two copies of the recessive gene for each trait. Therefore, the eggs from this female would all carry two copies of the recessive gene for each trait.
If an individual has the copies of a trait the same what is it called?
If an individual has two identical copies of a trait, it is called homozygous for that trait. This means that both copies of the gene are the same, whether they are dominant or recessive.
What trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present is called?
It depends which one is the dominant gene, and which is recessive. Dominant always over rules recessive. I probably spelled recessive wrong so yeah... :P
Why do the recessive genes do not disappear from the population?
Recessive genes can persist in a population because they can be carried in individuals without being expressed. These hidden recessive genes can be passed down through generations, only showing up if inherited from both parents. Additionally, genetic diversity can help maintain recessive genes in a population even if they are not expressed in every generation.
When the alleles present for a trait are the same. the genes are called?
When the alleles present for a trait are the same, the genes are called homozygous. This means that both alleles for a particular gene are identical. Homozygous individuals can have either two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive).
What genes are present in the eggs if the female is ressesive for both traits?
If the female is recessive for both traits, she would carry two copies of the recessive gene for each trait. Therefore, the eggs from this female would all carry two copies of the recessive gene for each trait.
What is it called when both dominant and recessive genes are present?
Heterozygous, I believe.
Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?
Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
A homozygous genotype where both alleles are recessive are called?
A homozygous genotype with both alleles being recessive is called a homozygous recessive genotype. This means that both copies of the gene are the same recessive allele, resulting in the expression of the recessive trait.
If an individual has the copies of a trait the same what is it called?
If an individual has two identical copies of a trait, it is called homozygous for that trait. This means that both copies of the gene are the same, whether they are dominant or recessive.
What trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present is called?
It depends which one is the dominant gene, and which is recessive. Dominant always over rules recessive. I probably spelled recessive wrong so yeah... :P
An individual who is homozygous is what?
It is a genetic similarity between two organisms.
Can recessive genes become dominant?
Recessive genes do not become dominant. Dominant genes mask the expression of recessive genes in the presence of both alleles. However, if a recessive gene is selected for over time through breeding, it can become more prevalent in a population.
What is it when both genes are the same either both dominant or both recessive?
Homologous.
What is trait called that appear only when both alleles are present?
A trait that appears only when both alleles are present is called a recessive trait. In this case, the trait is masked when the dominant allele is present, but becomes visible when two copies of the recessive allele are inherited.
What are the difference between dominant and recessive genes?
Dominant genes will cover up recessive genes. Take a simplified version of eye color for example. Brown is dominant and blue is recessive. Someone might have the allele for both brown and blue, but their eyes will be brown because of the dominent brown gene. If there are two parents that carry the recessive gene, neither will be blue eyed, but they will have a chance of having a blue eyed child if both pass on the recessive gene.
What determines whether a person will have dominant or recessive hair color?
Hair color is determined by genes inherited from parents. Dominant genes for hair color will be expressed over recessive genes, resulting in the dominant color being displayed. If both parents pass on recessive genes, the recessive color will be seen.
