An organism homozygous for a recessive gene. recessive
recessive [re-ses´iv] 1. tending to recede.2. in genetics, incapable of expression unless the responsible allele is carried by both members of a set of homologous chromosomes. See also gene" >recessive gene.3. an allele or trait that has this characteristic.re·ces·sive (rē-ses'iv), 1. Drawing away; receding. 2. In genetics, denoting a trait due to a particular allele or alleles at a single locus that does not manifest itself unless mutant alleles are present on both homologous chromosomes of a pair. recessive (rĭ-sĕs′ĭv)adj.1. Tending to go backward or recede.2. a. Genetics Of, relating to, or designating an allele that does not produce a characteristic effect when present with a dominant allele.b. Of or relating to a trait that is expressed only when the determining allele is present in the homozygous condition.n. Genetics 1. A recessive allele or trait.2. An organism having a recessive trait. re·ces′sive·ly adv.recessive Genetics A genetic trait that is not phenotypically expressed in a heterozygous or partially heterozygous cell, but rather only in a homozygous or hemizygous state. See Phenotype, Trait. Cf Dominant. re·ces·sive (rĕ-ses'iv) 1. Drawing away; receding. 2. genetics Denoting a trait due to a particular allele that does not manifest itself in the presence of other alleles that generate traits dominant to it. recessive Pertaining to an alternative form of a gene (ALLELE) that produces an effect only when carried by both members of the pair of homologous chromosomes (only when HOMOZYGOUS). People with heterozygous alleles for a condition are called carriers. A recessive gene has no effect in the presence of a DOMINANT allele either because of its inactivity or because of the absence of a product.RecessiveRefers to an inherited characteristic or trait that is expressed only when two copies of the gene responsible for it are present.Mentioned in: Ataxia-Telangiectasia, Lipidoses, Phenylketonuriare·ces·sive (rĕ-ses'iv) Drawing away; receding. recessive Related to recessive: Recessive allele, homozygous recessive is not available in the list of acronyms.
