Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for that trait is called what?
recessive traits
How selective breeding using dominant principle can positively affect Belgian Blue Cow?
It depends on what trait is being selected for. Whatever that trait is, it has to be a trait that will improve the BB breed, not unimprove it. How that works is that purebred cattle are selected for a dominant desirable trait and bred together to produce more cattle with that trait. Any other cattle that have the recessive undesirable trait are culled.
What is an adaptation?
A camel has humps that store fat.
What is the most likely an acquired trait in horses?
Wind sucking, weaving, crib biting...
Roosters have genes that determine feather length Which term describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait such as long feathers or short feathers?
Allele is the term that describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait such as long feathers or short feathers. Traits are passed in discrete units from parents to there offspring.
What is the principle that each parent passes only one allele for a trait its offspring?
Segregation
What percentage of the offspring will most likely show the dominant trait?
More information is needed. The percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with Hh and HH will be different than the percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with hh and Hh.
What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?
The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.
Why are only inherited traits not acquired one necessary for the process of natural selection?
Because the offspring of an organism with a desirable inherited trait is more likely to survive than the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait (because the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait will not have its parent's desirable trait).
What does the word dominant mean in genetics?
The dominant overpowers the recessive traits. The dominant trait is the trait the the offspring will most likely have.
What did Mendel use to predict what percent of offspring would show a popular trait?
probability based on principle of dominance and independent assortment of gametes
How many phenotypes does each trait have?
the offspring have two factors for each trait
What is the visible trait an offspring exhibits called?
The visible trait an offspring exhibits is called the phenotype.
Gregor Mendel concluded that a parent passes of the alleles for a trait to their offspring?
One of the allels for a trait to it's offspring.
How can offspring inherit a recessive trait?
An offspring can inherit a recessive trait if both of its parents are homozygous for the dominant allele.
What is the principle of independence party?
the law of independent assortment was formulated by Mendel. Alleles separate independently during the process of gamete production. The offspring show traits independent of the parents.
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be to transmit it to offspring?
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be heterozygous for the trait and able to transmit it to his offspring. The term heterozygous refers to a pair of gene with one dominant trait and one recessive trait.
