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.
In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.
Dominant and recessive are terms used to describe how a particular allele (gene variant) is expressed in an individual's phenotype. A dominant allele will be expressed even if only one copy is present, while a recessive allele needs two copies to be expressed. Dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in an organism.
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
Dominant traits are expressed when an individual carries at least one copy of the dominant allele, while recessive traits are expressed only when an individual carries two copies of the recessive allele. Dominant alleles mask the expression of recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals.
dominant
Yes, because Polydactyly is a dominant allele.
Having six fingers is typically considered a polydactyly trait, which is a rare genetic variation. Whether a trait is dominant or recessive depends on the specific genetic mutation causing it. In polydactyly cases, the inheritance pattern can vary, with some being dominant and others being recessive.
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
Polydactyly is a genetic trait that can mask the presence of the recessive trait for normal digit number in humans. This means that individuals with polydactyly (extra fingers or toes) can carry the recessive allele for normal digit number without expressing it themselves.
A dominant trait is expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while a recessive trait is only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. Dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.
is malignant melanoma dominant or recessive
No. Polydactyly is purely an autosomal dominant genetic disorder and cannot be caused by any environmental stress.
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic692.htm Postaxial hand polydactyly is a common isolated disorder in African black and African American children, and autosomal dominant transmission is suspected. Postaxial polydactyly is approximately 10 times more frequent in blacks than in whites and is more frequent in male children. In contrast, postaxial polydactyly seen in white children is usually syndromic and associated with an autosomal recessive transmission.
