What is the genetic composition determining a trait?
Genotype is the genetic makeup of a trait.
Would a disease caused by exposure to chemicals be considered a genetic trait?
A genetic trait is passed on through the genes. Which means that disease from exposure to chemicals is not inherited.
Is whistling a genetic trait?
No it's not a genetic trait. If your father or an uncle always whistles (my father use to do this and I loved the sound of it) then it's a habit you can pick up, but it's one of the better habits.
Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
What is a word that starts with an r that is the genetic material in a daughter cell not found in either parent?
recessive trait
What does a half shaded circle on a pedigree represent?
A half shaded circle on a pedigree chart represents a female who is a carrier of a genetic trait or condition. This means she does not exhibit the trait herself but has the potential to pass it on to her offspring. In contrast, a fully shaded circle would indicate that the female expresses the trait, while an unshaded circle signifies that she does not carry the trait at all.
What is the genetic composition determining a trait?
Genotype is the genetic makeup of a trait.
What is a genetic trait?
A trait is an observable, physical characteristic of an organism (a phenotype). A FACTOR is the underlying genetic cause of the TRAIT (the genotype).
What does trait?
genetic likeness.
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.
What is used to describe a trait that is controlled by many genes?
A genetic trait.
A genetic factor that covers up another genetic factor is called?
A dominant trait is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. A recessive trait is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant fact
Is being cross eyed a genetic trait?
Yes, being cross-eyed can be a genetic trait. It can be inherited from one or both parents.
Is A section on a chromosome that has genetic information for one trait?
Yes, a section on a chromosome that contains genetic information for one trait is called a gene. Genes are specific sequences of DNA that encode instructions for producing proteins, which ultimately determine various traits in an organism. Each gene can influence a particular characteristic, such as eye color or height.
Why do you have unattached ears?
It is a dominant genetic trait. If you get a gene for it from either parent, you will have this trait.
Which type of genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring?
A dominant genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring because only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed.
What is the broad sense heritability equation and how does it contribute to understanding the genetic basis of a trait?
The broad sense heritability equation is a statistical measure that estimates the proportion of variation in a trait that is due to genetic factors within a population. It helps researchers understand the extent to which genetics influence a trait compared to environmental factors. By quantifying the genetic contribution to a trait, the broad sense heritability equation provides insights into the genetic basis of that trait.
