Why are recessive alleles not removed from populations over time?
If the recessive genotype is selected for more often than the dominant genotype, the recessive allele will become more common than the dominant allele in the gene pool.
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.
How many choices were there for each pea plant trait mendel examineed?
Mendel examined one trait at a time in his pea plant experiments. For each trait, he had two choices: the dominant allele and the recessive allele. Therefore, there were two choices for each pea plant trait that Mendel examined.
What would happen is selective pressure changed and the recessive gene was selected for?
If selective pressure changed and the recessive gene was selected for, individuals carrying the recessive gene would have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing, leading to an increase in the frequency of that gene in the population. Over time, this could result in the recessive gene becoming the dominant trait in the population.
What is a lethal resseive trait?
A lethal recessive trait is a genetic condition caused by a recessive allele that, when two copies are inherited (one from each parent), leads to the death of the organism before or shortly after birth. These traits prevent affected individuals from surviving to reproductive age, resulting in the elimination of the harmful allele from the population over time.
How many offspring are likely to have recessive traits if the parents are hybrids?
50%. There are four possible outcomes of the cross:dominant trait from "dad", dominant trait from "mom"recessive trait from "dad", dominant trait from "mom"dominant trait from "dad", recessive trait from "mom"recessive trait from "dad", recessive trait from "mom"Therefore, to get hybrid offspring (one dominant, one recessive), you have a 2 out of 4 chance.
When is the only time a recessive trait appears on a organism?
A recessive trait only appears in an organism when it is homozygous for that trait, meaning it has two copies of the recessive allele. This occurs when an organism inherits the recessive allele from both parents.
Why are recessive alleles not removed from populations over time?
If the recessive genotype is selected for more often than the dominant genotype, the recessive allele will become more common than the dominant allele in the gene pool.
How can a recessive trait become more prevalent in a population?
A recessive trait can become more prevalent in a population through processes like genetic drift, founder effect, or natural selection favoring individuals carrying the recessive trait. Over time, these mechanisms can lead to an increase in the frequency of the recessive trait within the population.
When is the only time a recessive phenotype can be observed?
A recessive phenotype can only be observed when an individual is homozygous recessive for that trait, meaning they have two copies of the recessive allele. This is because in a heterozygous individual, the dominant allele will mask the expression of the recessive allele.
What is the difference between dominant and recessive gene?
There are no such things as dominant and recessive genes. There are only dominant and recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are parts of a gene that present its features over the recessive allele, which is the one that is always masked by the dominant allele. The recessive allele's trait only shows if both of the alleles in a trait are recessive.
How can recessive traits skip generations?
First of all, there is no 'twin gene' as such. The only genetic link to twinning is that of hyper-ovulation, in which the mother releases more than one egg at a time. If women in a particular family have the gene for hyper-ovulation then this will increase their chances of having dizygotic (non-identical) twins. There is no link between genes and identical twinning. There is no scientific evidence to show that twins are more likely to skip a generation, although if hyper-ovulation runs in a family then it is more likely that twinning will occur across the different generations.

Why is it difficult to determine the genotype of an organism that has a dominant phenotype?
NO, because a dominant phenotype could either be homozygous or a heterozygous.so unless you are sure about the genotype of parents we can't determine it...but we can determine the genotype of a person showing reccessive phenotype, as a recessive trait always expresses itself in a homozygous condition...
Who always wins a dominant gene or a recessive gene?
A dominant gene will be expressed over a recessive gene when both are present in an individual. This means that the trait determined by the dominant gene will be expressed in the individual's phenotype.
What if your uncle has hazel eyes and your other uncle has gray eyes and you have brown eyes can you carry both recessive traits hazel eyes and gray eyes at the same time?
You can only carry one recessive trait.
