Yes, a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait if it is expressed and not masked by a dominant gene. In cases where the individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene, the trait will be expressed.

What is the form of gene that seems to have no impact on a trait in a heterozygous state?

A gene that shows no impact on a trait in a heterozygous state is called a recessive gene. In a heterozygous individual, the dominant gene will determine the trait expressed, while the recessive gene remains hidden.

What is homogeneous recessive?

Homogeneous recessive refers to having two identical copies of a recessive allele for a particular gene, resulting in the expression of the recessive trait. This can occur when an individual inherits the same recessive allele from both parents. In the context of genetics, individuals who are homozygous for a recessive trait are said to be "homogeneous recessive."


Is it possible to have a dominate recessive trait?

no, because dominant is different from recessive, its impossible to have a dominant-recessive trait because the dominant is when only one copy of the gene is present, while in the recessive a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring, in short the dominant is for single parent, while in the recessive is a product of two parents.


What a recessive trait?

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