When does a recessive characteristic appear in an organism?

  1. Whenever at least one recessive allele is present
  2. Only in the offspring of two parents that both show it
  3. Only if it came from the father
  4. Only when both alleles are recessiveRespuesta correcta

Explicación

A single recessive allele is masked by a dominant partner, so the characteristic can only be seen when there is no dominant allele to hide it. Expecting it whenever one recessive allele is present would mean that organisms with a mixed pair showed it, and they do not.
