What is one genetic trait that masks another form of a trait?

Polydactyly is a genetic trait that can mask the presence of the recessive trait for normal digit number in humans. This means that individuals with polydactyly (extra fingers or toes) can carry the recessive allele for normal digit number without expressing it themselves.


The form of a combination of two traits that may be hidden is called a trait?

The form of a combination of two traits that may be hidden is called a recessive trait. This means that the trait is not expressed unless an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.

What is a dominant form of a kind of characteristic carried by a gene?

trait


How can you determine the genotype of a plant that displays a dominant form of a to how can you determine the genotype of the plant the displays a dominant form of a trait?

To determine the genotype of a plant displaying a dominant trait, perform a test cross by breeding it with a homozygous recessive plant for that trait. If any offspring display the recessive trait, the dominant plant is heterozygous; if all offspring show the dominant trait, the plant is likely homozygous dominant. Analyzing the offspring's phenotypes will provide insight into the genotype of the parent with the dominant trait.

The form of a trait that appears to mask another form the same trait is called what?

The form of a trait that appears to mask another form of the same trait is called the dominant trait. Dominant traits will be expressed over recessive traits in a heterozygous individual.

Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait?

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.


What describes a trait that is covered over or dominated by another form of the trait and seems to disappear?

A trait that is covered over or dominated by another form of the trait and seems to disappear is called a recessive trait. In genetics, recessive traits only manifest when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.

Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?

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.


Is it true that an organism with a dominant allele for a particular form of a trait only exhibits the trait sometimes?

true


Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?

Recessive traits are not expressed when the dominant form is present. This is because the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition. Only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele will the recessive trait be expressed.


Will an organism with a recessive allele for a particular form of a trait will always exhibit that form?

No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.
