What is law of dominance and how do traits manifest if it is from a parent with this type of trait?
Mendel's law of dominance states that when two pure breeding organisms of contrasting traits (such as purple flower or white flower) are crossed, only one trait of the pair appears in the F1 generation. This is known as the dominant trait (purple), and the other unexpressed trait (white) is recessive.
What else can I help you with?
What is two mixed traits that don't show dominance but merge together to form a blended trait?
Incomplete dominance
What is the name of a weak trait that is masked by a stronger trait?
A weak trait that is masked by a stronger trait is often referred to as a "shadow trait" or a "secondary trait". These traits may not be immediately apparent due to the dominance of the stronger trait.
The principle or law of heridity which states that only the dominant trait can be seen in an organism that contains in genes a pair of contrasting traits is called?
This principle is known as the law of dominance or dominant-recessive inheritance. In this case, the dominant trait will be expressed, masking the recessive trait.
What does co-dominance mean in genetics?
Co-dominance is a genetic concept where both alleles in a heterozygous individual are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that displays traits from both alleles equally. This is different from incomplete dominance, where the traits blend together. An example of co-dominance is the AB blood group system in humans.
How would a baby change if one parent was homozygous dominant for all the traits and the other parent was heterozygous?
If one parent is homozygous dominant for all traits (carrying two dominant alleles for each trait), and the other parent is heterozygous (carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait), there would be a 100% chance that the baby would inherit the dominant alleles from the homozygous dominant parent. Therefore, the baby would also be heterozygous for all the traits, carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait.
A trait that appears or is expressed in the f1 generation is what?
A trait that appears or is expressed in the F1 generation is considered dominant. Dominant traits will manifest themselves in the offspring when at least one parent carries the dominant allele for that trait.
What is two mixed traits that don't show dominance but merge together to form a blended trait?
Incomplete dominance
Which trait did Mendel identify in certain genes?
Mendel identified the trait of inheritance through his experiments with pea plants, discovering the principles of dominant and recessive traits. He found that certain genes were responsible for specific traits, which were passed down from parents to offspring according to predictable patterns.
Are recessive traits inherited?
A recessive trait can only be passed along if both parents carry at least one of the recessive genes to the child. If both parents manifest the trait (that is, if both parents have both recessive genes), then the child will manifest (that is, carry both recessive genes and display) the recessive trait. If one parent manifests and the other parent only carries the trait (that is, carries one dominant and one recessive gene) then the child will definitely carry and have a 50% chance of manifesting. If both parents carry the recessive, the child is 25% likely not to carry the trait at all, 50% likely to carry and 25% likely to manifest the trait.
What is the name of a weak trait that is masked by a stronger trait?
A weak trait that is masked by a stronger trait is often referred to as a "shadow trait" or a "secondary trait". These traits may not be immediately apparent due to the dominance of the stronger trait.
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for that trait is called what?
Recessive traits. This means that the trait is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele for that trait, one from each parent.
What determines Which traits will be passed on to the next generation?
trait dominance (genotypic relationship between alleles). look up "heritability"

This is different from incomplete dominance, where the traits blend together. An example of co-dominance is the AB blood group system in humans.
What occurs when two inherited traits combine and show up as a third trait?
It is called Co-dominance. For example if there was a white chicken and a black chicken,and both the white trait and the black trait are dominant, there would be a third color, probably grey, and it would be a mix of the two traits.
If snapdragons showed complete dominance like pea plants what would the offspring look like?
If snapdragons showed complete dominance, the offspring would display the dominant trait from one parent. This means all the offspring would have the same physical appearance as the parent with the dominant trait, without any variation.
How would a baby change if one parent was homozygous dominant for all the traits and the other parent was heterozygous?
If one parent is homozygous dominant for all traits (carrying two dominant alleles for each trait), and the other parent is heterozygous (carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait), there would be a 100% chance that the baby would inherit the dominant alleles from the homozygous dominant parent. Therefore, the baby would also be heterozygous for all the traits, carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait.
