recessive is when you have another allele that supress the recessive one, you have to thing how this could be done in a methabolic pathway, and you will see that exist many ways for an allele be dominant and the other recessive (you just can say dominant and recessive if you are talking at alleles ,this is genes at the same locus.

It depends on the genotype of the parents, but assuming there is an equal chance of being dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous or heterozgous and there are only two possible genes, there is a 1 in 4 chance that the recessive trait will appear.
Recessive allele is a trait that doesn't show in one's phenotype (observable trait) if there is a dominant allelle present. Only when you inherit a recessive allele from both parents (aa for example and not Aa) does the trait show in your phenotype.
It depends. If it's a heterozygous cross, (Tt x Tt), there's a 25% chance. If it's a homozygous dominant cross (TT x TT), the chance is 0%. Neither parent has the alleles for a recessive trait, so none of their offspring can have the recessive trait. If it's a homozygous recessive cross (tt x tt), there's a 100% chance. The only alleles the parents can pass on are recessive.
Let's see what combinations can be formed.HH, HH, Hh, Hh.So, yes their offspring can contain the recessive allele.(THe offspring can be a carrier of the recessive allele.)However, since it is impossible for the offspring to be homozygous recessive,the recessive trait/gene will not show in the offspring's phenotype.Hope that helps!
No, homozygous recessive indivuals MUST have two of the reccessive gene (bb), the possible combinations are bb,bb,bb,bb thus only a recessive trait is possible
