You wouldn't see a recessive trait if an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for that trait. In this case, the dominant allele's phenotype will be expressed, masking the recessive trait. The recessive trait would only be visible if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true that if a person has a recessive trait the genotype must be homozygous recessive for the trait?
Yes, if a person expresses a recessive trait, their genotype must be homozygous recessive for that trait. This means that they have two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If they were heterozygous they would not display the trait.
What is a trait called?
recessive trait
What does it mean that an organism is homozygous recessive for a trait?
An organism that is homozygous recessive for a trait carries two copies of the recessive allele for that trait. This means that the individual will express the recessive trait because there is no dominant allele to mask its expression.
Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?
bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.
What is the name given to the weaker trait that can be covered up by the dominant trai?
The recessive gene - less stronger than the dominant one.
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
Is it true that if a person has a recessive trait the genotype must be homozygous recessive for the trait?
Yes, if a person expresses a recessive trait, their genotype must be homozygous recessive for that trait. This means that they have two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If they were heterozygous they would not display the trait.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
Is diabetes dominant or recessive trait?
It is a recessive trait
Is albinism a dominant or recessive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait.
What a recessive trait?
A recessive trait is a trait that is not dominant, and is not really seen in ones phenotype.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
What type of trait prevents the other type from being seen?
A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.
All individuals that show a recessive trait are?
recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait
