The stronger of the two traits which show up in an organism is called a?
dominant trait. It is more likely to be expressed in the phenotype of an organism when it is inherited with a recessive trait.
What is a dominate trait?
Dominant trait is a genetics term. A dominant trait is one which will be expressed if one of the parents has the gene for that trait. A recessive trait is one that will be expressed only if both parents carry the 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.
A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?
False. A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be either homozygous dominant (two dominant alleles) or heterozygous (one dominant and one recessive allele) for the trait. It cannot be homozygous recessive for a dominant trait.
What is a trait that masks a trait called?
A trait that masks another trait is called a dominant trait. This means that when an organism carries both dominant and recessive alleles for a particular gene, only the dominant trait will be expressed in the phenotype.
A trait that appears or is expressed in the f1 generation is what?
A trait that appears or is expressed in the F1 generation is considered dominant. Dominant traits will manifest themselves in the offspring when at least one parent carries the dominant allele for that trait.
The form of a trait that appears to mask another form the same trait is called what?
The form of a trait that appears to mask another form of the same trait is called the dominant trait. Dominant traits will be expressed over recessive traits in a heterozygous individual.
What is an observable trait of an organism that can mask a recessive trait?
An observable trait of an organism that can mask a recessive trait is called a dominant trait. Dominant traits are expressed in the offspring even if they only have one copy of the dominant allele, hiding the recessive trait's expression.
What does it mean that an organism is homozygous dominant for a trait?
If an organism is homozygous dominant for a trait, it means that it has two identical dominant alleles for that specific trait. This suggests that the organism will express the dominant trait in its phenotype.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
In which offspring does a dominant trait appear?
A dominant trait will appear in offspring that inherits at least one copy of the dominant allele from either parent. If an individual has two different alleles for a trait (one dominant and one recessive), the dominant trait will be expressed.
When a trait is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is the definiton of?
The trait that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is known as a recessive trait. It is masked by the dominant trait in individuals carrying both alleles.
