What is the difference between dominant trait and recessive trait?
958482
The dominate gene, or trait is stronger than the recessive.\n\nSay your dad has brown eyes. Your mon has green.  (brown is the dominate gene)  You would have more brown in your eyes cause the brown gene is dominate (stronger)\n\nWill

Heredity is the genetic transmission of characteristics (bone structure, skin color, and mentality)\nVariation is the acts, processes, or deviations (education, wealth, and sense of reality)

Mendelian genetics predicts the probable result of genetic traits.  It assigns a dominate and recessive gene to each trait of a species that allows for variance, then calculates the possible match-ups of recessive and dominate genes.  The ratio of success of the dominate gene relates to its ability to produces a higher probability of result.  Mendelian genetics is never certain in its results, it shows the most probable result of a pairing.

Because of the recessive and dominant genes that you inherit.\nWhen the sperm and the egg join together, they each carry half of the total genetic mixture that creates a person. Sometimes, the skin-color genes of one person "dominate" over that of the other, but other times the "recessive" genes outnumber the dominant ones and so the other skin color "wins".\n\nI'm not a genetics expert, but from my little knowledge I can tell you that it's all the result of a pretty much random combination process. Sometimes the recessive (or "weaker") genes outnumber the dominant ones, and "win", while sometimes the dominant ones do.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/genetics

Well, you know that genes code for proteins, right?  Basically, a recessive gene is typically one where the mutant protein doesn't do much of anything.  So if you have one normal gene, you'll still be producing some amount of the protein, and therefore still have the trait.  A good example of this is cystic fibrosis, in which the gene that incodes for certain membrane ion channels is defective and does not produce functional proteins.  In heterozygous individuals, they will have fewer ion channels, but they will have enough normal ones that there is no signficiant phenotypical manifestation of the mutant gene.\n\nA dominant gene is one that codes for a protein that overwhems the products of the other alleles.  A good example of this is Huntington's Disease, which is caused by mutant huntingtin proteins that have a long polygultamine tail.  The polyglutamine huntingtin proteins tend to clump together and form aggregates, which normal huntingtin does not.  The aggregates can be toxic to the nerve cells in which they form, resulting in cell death, and consequently progressive damage to the nervous system.  This trait is dominant because even a few of the abnormal protein can from aggregates and cause nerve cell death; having normal protein also doesn't help any.  Of course, a trait can also be dominant if the other allele is recessive as described above.

When it states the frequency of the dominant allele in a population, think of p as one allele that 36% of the population is carrying. so, we can set p=36%, or .36\n\nThe next part of the problem asks for the frequency not of the recessive allele, but of the recessive trait. In order to carry the recessive trait, the person must have both alleles. The probability that both parents passed down the allele for the person to have the trait, using the multiplicative rule of probability would be q*q. We are solving for q^2 since we are looking for the trait not the allele. \n\n1-p=q\n1-.36=.64\nq*q=.64*.64=0.4096\n0.4096*100%=40.96%

Husband- Heterozygous since there are albino children.\nWife- Homozygous Recessive because it's the only way the recessive can show up.\nPigmented Children- Heterzygous since the dominant trait showed up but the other parent was homozygous recessive.\nAlbino Children- Homozygous Recessive for the same reasons as the mother.

I don't understand your use of the word controlled.\nIf you mean what is the relationship of recessive genes to Cystic Fibrosis?\nBecause the trait for CF is attached to a recessive gene it means that when that gene is passed on to a child it is harmless on its own.  The disease only occurs when one woman with the recessive linked gene mates with a male with the same recessive gene. Two recessives result in the disease happening in the child.\nThe two parents who only have half the material each on their genes are ''carriers'' of the disease.\nMost cystic fibrosis children are blond and blue eyed because these too are thought to be part of recessive genes.  \nIs that what you want to know?

Genetic dominance is the tendency for offspring to have one characteristic over another. This is due to the way alleles work. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene.\n\nThere are recessive alleles, and dominant alleles, and at times two alleles might be codominant. At such times, neither allele dominates over the other, and an intermediate characteristic is expressed in the phenotype (the physical expression of the characteristic).\n\nExample : Blood Group\nThere are three types of alleles : A, B, and O. O is recessive, but A and B are equally dominant. So A with O becomes A, B with O becomes B, but A with B is AB.\n\nExample : Antirrhinum flower\nThere are two colour types : Red and white. But the alleles for both types are codominant, and the result is pink.

No, it depends on which form of the gene (dom or rec) is more advantageous.  For example, having 10 fingers and 10 toes is recessive.  12 fingers and 12 toes is dominant but you see it rarely.  Just because something is dominant doesn't mean it will show up more often, it's just more easily expressed.

Genes are not really dominant or recessive, alleles of genes are dominant or recessive.  Alleles are the different forms a gene can take - ie, different alleles have slightly different sequences.  Dominant or recessive just refers to which allele codes for the protein that is actually going to have an impact on the phenotype (how an organism looks).

Hereditary means that 'it' is passed on through the famil lineage. Genetic means that it might only be the individual who is affected.

Dominance and recessive have nothing to do with frequency of an allele.  Basically, O is recessive because if you have an A allele and an O allele you will have type A blood, and if you have a B allele and an O allele you will have type B blood.  However, O is the most common type because most people don't have an A or a B allele, but just two O's.  The fact that A or B will be expressed if you have one doesn't make it more likely that you will have one.\n\nA and B are co-dominant (that's where the AB bloodtype comes from), but O is recessive to both A and B as it does not appear in the phenotype if an A or B allele is present.  Incidentally, these alleles are typically denoted I superscript A for A, I superscript B for B, and i for O, which reflects the dominance pattern as capital letters typically indicant dominant and lowercase indicate recessive.

B- brown (dominant), b- blue (recessive)\n\nChildren's phenotypes: both blue\nChildren's genotypes: both bb\n\nParents phenotypes: both brown\nSo, both parent must be heterozygous for eye colour:\nParents genotypes: both Bb

No. B'coz if a perosn is heterozygous for a trait, the person will express the dominant trait. And, so will a person homozygous (dominant allele) for that trait. Therefore, it's not possible to differentiate between the two unless one obtains their karyotype chart.

mendel tested genes in peas. he cross bred smooth and wrinkled peas and found that all the offspring grew smooth. then he bred the offspring and they grew some smooth and some wrikled at a ratio of 3:1.\nthis maade him think about dominance, in this case, the smooth allele was dominant to the wrinkled allele. he also did work on smooth gen peas and wrinkled yellow peas. When he bred these, he found a ratio of 9(sreen smooth):3(green wrinlked):3(yellow smooth):1(yellow winkled). this showeed him that the green and smooth alleles were dominant to yellow and wrinkled.\nhe deided that the rules of breeding ratios would either be 9:3:3:1,3:1,2:1, or 1:1 when dealing with dominance
