What is the difference fom heterozygous and homozygous recessive?

In genetics, you can either have a dominant allele (A) or a recessive allele (a). Being homozygous means that you have both of either a dominant or a recessive allele (ie you are either AA or aa). If the trait is a recessive trait, then you need to have it be homozygous recessive in order to express that trait. Hope this was helpful! :-)


Why is a man genotype Cc?

A man with a genotype of Cc means he has one allele for the dominant trait (C) and one allele for the recessive trait (c). This genotype indicates that he carries both versions of the gene and can pass on either the dominant or recessive trait to his offspring. The expression of the dominant or recessive trait will depend on how the alleles interact with each other.


How are dominant and recessive traits represented?

Autosomal recessive alleles ( both males and females) and X-linked alleles in females always express themselves in homozygous condition. On other hand, X -chromosome linked recessive allele express singly in males.


What does a homozygous dominant trait look like?

A homozygous dominant trait occurs when an individual inherits two identical dominant alleles for a specific gene. The trait is fully expressed, as dominance masks recessive alleles. For example, in pea plants, homozygous dominant (RR) for flower color results in purple flowers, visibly demonstrating the dominant trait without variation. visit our website: www. chocolatekidsplayschool.org/madambakkam/


Is webbed feet dominant or recessive?

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.


Is diabetes dominant or recessive trait?

It is a recessive trait


In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?

recessive


Is albinism a dominant or recessive trait?

Albinism is a recessive trait.


A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?

False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.


What is an observable trait of an organism that can mask a recessive trait?

The observable characteristic are called the genotype and any dominant trait can mask the recessive. An example would be Black Angus cattle can actually carry a red recessive trait because black is the dominant trait in cattle breeding


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.


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.


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.


What a recessive trait?

A recessive trait is a trait that is not dominant, and is not really seen in ones phenotype.
