The extinction claim is based on a misinterpretation of recessiveness in genetics.

On the set, he usually hangs back near the camera, while Pete deals directly with the actors - but that recessiveness is deceiving.

Recessiveness is an odd quality for a devil, though, and, surprisingly, he doesn't rise to the challenge of the high-lying invocation to the night.

Mendelian genetic concepts such as recessiveness, dominance, and co-dominance are fairly simple additions to this principle.

Homozygosity is the case where similar or identical alleles combine to express a trait that is not otherwise expressed (recessiveness).

Dominance/recessiveness refers to phenotype, not genotype.

Navigators cannot interbreed with regular humans due to the recessiveness of the navigator gene, and thus form an endogamous caste.

Perhaps because of the very recessiveness of the symptoms that define social phobia, until recently psychiatrists remained largely unaware of the diagnosis.

Determinations of dominance and recessiveness can only be made by observing the outcome of many crosses, although wild traits often tend to be dominant.

The continuous distribution of traits such as height and skin colour described above reflects the action of genes that do not quite show typical patterns of dominance and recessiveness.

Thus the isolated forms drawn in wax not only hover in undifferentiated space, but also alternate between assertiveness and recessiveness, so one cannot be sure if they are floating or sinking.

Unaware of Mendel's work, De Vries used the laws of dominance and recessiveness, segregation, and independent assortment to explain the 3:1 ratio of phenotypes in the second generation.

This seems to indicate that maturation of Cannabis is not controlled by the simple dominance and recessiveness of one gene but probably results from incom- plete dominance and a combination of genes for separate aspects of maturation.

It should also be noted that the concepts of recessiveness and dominance were developed before a molecular understanding of DNA and before molecular biology, thus mapping many newer concepts to "dominant" or "recessive" phenotypes is problematic.

Sarah, on the other hand, is a peculiar combination of the motherly and the voluptuous: "The recessiveness of spirit that made her so lovely, even gallant, would appeal to any man who wanted endless reception, endless soft reception of whatever outrage he could conceive."
