Question

Heterozygous genes will always display the recessive trait.
True
False

Answer 1

The answer is False because one heterozygous gene is inherited from each parent and in heterozygous genes only one gene will be dominant and the other will be recessive. A heterozygous gene can display a dominant trait or a recessive trait.

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Heterozygous means that a specific gene has a locus with two alleles.

Into those alleles, you can found recessive and dominant. We inherit one allele from our mother and one for our father.

To display a recessive allele, both parents have to give it to you.

To know the probabilities of having a recessive allele, you need to do a Punnett square.
