Autosomal recessive trait
Autosomal recessive trait refers to those autosomal traits, which inspite of being present in the genotype of an individual do not express itself in the phenotype of the person. Autosomal recessive inheritance can be understood as a way a genetic trait or a specific gene make up or condition can be passed down from parent to child. These are the traits that are not present on the sex chromosomes.
A genetic condition might result due to the child’s inheritance of one copy of a gene that is mutated (changed) from each parent. The parents of a child who was the carrier of the autosomal recessive condition usually do not have the condition or show the characteristics in the phenotype. Unaffected generation, who carry the condition but so not express are called carriers because they each carry one copy of the mutated gene that might be passed to their children, who might express the condition.
