Homo means same and Hetero means different and zygous means certain type of zygote means combination of genetic material. Note: Two types of traits are Homozygous and Heterozygous. Some examples of Recessive traits are- O Blood type, Blue eyes, Sickle cell anemia, Albinism, Inability to roll tongue etc. Recessive trait is present at the gene level but does not show itself in the organism. The genotype AA and Aa present in offspring will have the dominant trait whereas aa offspring express the recessive trait. Each parent provides one allele, the combinations are: AA, Aa, and aa. Dominant allele is expressed in capital letters like A versus a. For example- Baldness, Curly hair is dominant over straight hair etc. Dominant trait is the first that appears or expressed visibly in the organism. Genes refer to the factor of qualities of most human-inherited traits. Genetics may be defined as the study of inheritance and it includes a variety of overlapping fields: biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, population genetics, genomics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, classical genetics, molecular genetics and genetic counseling. If the alleles (two versions of each gene) of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed as Dominant gene while the other allele effect is called recessive. Dominant refers to the relationship between two versions of a gene. The five widely accepted and common traits are Openness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism. Traits can be examined by genes, environment or by interactions between them. The Dominate/ Recessive is a comparative concept as well, which means that brown eye color is dominant trait when compared to grey, green, hazel, or blue eye colors.Hint: Trait refers to an organism specific characteristic. The dominant trait genes always trump the recessive trait genes. Genes associated with dominant traits have more complete information than the recessive traits. Therefore, this is called sex linked chromosomes. So for eye color, brown is B and blue is b. The way people write out dominant and recessive traits is the dominant one gets a capital letter and the recessive one a lower case letter. In our example here, brown is dominant over blue so you end up with brown eyes. The twenty-third pair is different, two X-chromosomes for female, one X- and one Y- chromosome for a male. Dominant means that one of the versions trumps the other. Twenty two pair of Chromosomes look alike and are called autosomes. Recessive genes are only expressed when paired with another recessive gene. Recessive gene is not expressed when paired with dominant gene.
Dominant genes when paired with recessive gene determines the trait to be expressed. Normally, there are two types of genes for each trait: Dominant, and Recessive.
If the two pair of allele are identical (one pair from each parent), the off spring will express that trait. On each pair of Chromosomes, there are two genes that determine the inherited trait. The dominant gene masks or covers up the weaker gene and is responsible for dominant traits. When two genes are in contact, the gene that emerges dominant is called the dominant gene. In biology, genetics is a field of study that takes a close look at inheritance and variation of character. The combination determines the trait to be expressedĪt the time of conception, sperm cell fuses with the ovum to create a new cell called Zygot with 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes. Dominant trait is a common term referred to in genetics. There are two types of genes for each trait: Dominant, and Recessive.
