What else can I help you with?
A gene that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is called?
A recessive gene. These genes are masked by dominant genes when they are present together in an individual's genetic makeup.
Traits determined by recessive genes located on the x chromosomes are said to be?
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
Is webbed feet dominant or recessive?
recessive.
The weaker of two genes is called what?
The weaker of two genes is called the recessive gene. In the presence of a dominant gene, the recessive gene is not expressed in the organism's phenotype.
Are white lions real?
Yes, white lions are real but they are a genetic rarity. They are not albinos; their white coloration is due to a recessive gene. White lions are primarily found in wildlife reserves and captivity.
What term describes the inheritance if cystic fibrosis?
The term that best describes the inheritance of cystic fibrosis is that it is genetic. Cystic fibrosis is caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
What term describes the inheritence cystic fibrosis?
The term that best describes the inheritance of cystic fibrosis is that it is genetic. Cystic fibrosis is caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
What is being carried by a genetic carrier?
A genetic carrier has a dominant and a recessive version of an allele. Normally, the term genetic carrier is used in relation to genetic illnesses where two copies of the recessive allele cause that illness. Therefore, a carrier does not have the illness themself (as the dominant, non-disease allele is expressed over the recessive allele). However, they have the ability to create an offspring who has the double recessive genotype and therefore has the condition if they mate with another carrier or someone who is double recessive (who has the disease).
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
What kind of diseases are the most common genetic diseases (?
Recessive Autosomal
A genetic trait which is present but unseen in an individual is called a trait?
Recessive For example, brown eyes (B) are dominant, blue eyes (b) are recessive. BB = brown Bb = brown bb = blue In the Bb genotype, the blue eyed gene is present, but the brown eyed gene is dominant, and show as the phenotype
Is cystic fibrosis carried on a dominant of recessive gene?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
A example of a homosygous genetic disorder?
Cystic Fibrosis is a recessive homozygous genetic disease
What is the term for a genotype in which there are two recessive alleles?
Homozygenous recessive.
Is schizophrenia autosomal recessive or dominant?
Schizophrenia is only partially genetic, and therefore is neither recessive nor dominant.
What types of disease is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. A+ neuromuscular disease
Is gentic makeup probability?
There is no such thing as "gentic makeup". Perhaps you mean genetic, instead. There is a probabilistic element in genetic make up, but in some cases the probabilistic bit is overridden by recessive genes.
