A dominant trait is the trait that will show. A recessive trait is the trait that is hidden. For example if your mom had brown eyes and your dad has green eyes you would have brown eyes because brown eyes are the dominant trait

Mendel used what term to describe heterozygous pea plants?

He used the term hybrid.


Is Tay Sachs dominant or recessive?

Tay Sachs is a recessive genetic disorder, meaning that a person needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition. If a person inherits only one copy of the mutated gene, they are considered a carrier but do not show symptoms of Tay Sachs.


Describe how phenotypes can be used to predict genotypes in a pedigree?

By observing the phenotypes of individuals in a pedigree (such as their physical characteristics or traits), one can infer the genotypes that may be responsible for those traits. By looking at patterns of inheritance within the pedigree, such as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked inheritance, one can make educated guesses about the genotypes of individuals based on their observed phenotypes. However, the presence of genetic variability, incomplete penetrance, or phenocopies can complicate the prediction of genotypes solely based on phenotypic information.


Simon and Matrena are basically similar or basically different?

Simon and Matrena are basically different. They come from different cultural backgrounds and have unique life experiences, perspectives, and personalities. While they may share some common traits or values, their individual differences make them distinct individuals.

What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?

Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!


How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?

They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous allele


Which traits oberved were dominant and recessive?

In genetics, dominant traits are those that are expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while recessive traits are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele and no dominant allele present. Dominant traits often mask recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.


What do organisms pass to their offspring?

They pass on traits. There are recessive traits and dominant traits. The dominant trait is normally the one that overpowers recessive


How is codominance different from a dominant and recessive relationship?

In codominance, both alleles in a gene pair are expressed equally, resulting in a blending of traits. This is different from a dominant and recessive relationship, where one allele is dominant and masks the expression of the recessive allele.


How is Dominant and Recessive differ?

Dominant traits are expressed when just one copy of the gene is present, while recessive traits require two copies to be expressed. Dominant traits mask recessive traits when they are both present.


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.


How are dominant and recessive genes related?

Dominate them. Recessive alleles do not show in your phenotype unless you have two of the same recessive allele. But if you inherit one dominant and one recessive, it is the dominant that always shows in your phenotype.


How are dominant and recessive genes?

If you are talking about traits, dominant traits and recessive traits both have alleles. Dominant traits are alleles that cover up the expression of other alleles. One dominant allele with one recessive allele makes a dominant trait. Two dominant alleles together also make a dominant trate. Recessive traits are alleles that are only expressed when there is no dominant trait to cover them up. Two recessive alleles make a recessive trait. Traits can be passed over to the next generation. Two alleles together make a genotype, which is the inherited combination of alleles. Alleles: different versions of the same gene. Heredity: determined by genes. Genes: piece of DNA that shows the cell how to make a protein it needs.


What genes are recessive traits?

These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.


What are the type of traits?

I think it is Dominant and recessive.
