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.
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
This phenomenon is known as dominance, where one gene masks the expression of another gene for the same trait. When an organism carries two different genes for a trait, one gene is dominant and determines the observable trait, while the other gene, known as recessive, is not expressed in the presence of the dominant gene.
The recessive allele.
In genetics, the bobtail trait is typically recessive because it is masked by the dominant long tail trait. This means that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the bobtail allele to express the bobtail trait, whereas only one copy of the long tail allele is needed to display the long tail trait.
dominant
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
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.
Recessive
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
The weaker trait is called the recessive trait The stronger one is called the dominant trait
A trait that masks another trait is epistatic...the masked trait is hypostatic.
A masked plover is a type of bird.
The allele that does not affect the trait in a heterozygote is known as the recessive allele. This allele is masked by the dominant allele, which determines the observable trait. However, the recessive allele can still be passed on to offspring if both parents are carriers.
Heterozygous dominant. Could also be called a masked trait.
The trait that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is known as a recessive trait. It is masked by the dominant trait in individuals carrying both alleles.
A recessive trait is one that is not expressed when paired with a dominant trait. It may only be visually evident when both copies of the gene carry the recessive form.
