recesszívek

Recesszívek is a Hungarian term that can be translated to "recessive" in English, commonly used in genetics. In genetics, a recessive allele is a gene variant that must be present in two copies (one from each parent) for the associated trait or condition to be expressed. If an individual inherits only one copy of a recessive allele, along with a dominant allele for the same gene, the trait associated with the dominant allele will be observed, and the recessive trait will be masked. This means that individuals carrying one copy of a recessive allele are called carriers, as they do not show the trait themselves but can pass the allele on to their offspring. Many inherited conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia, are caused by recessive alleles. Understanding the concept of recesszívek is fundamental to comprehending inheritance patterns and genetic counseling. The probability of an offspring inheriting a recessive trait depends on whether both parents are carriers of the recessive allele.
