  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010013",
  "term": "Recessive gene",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A gene that produces its characteristic effect only when its allele is inherited from both parents, resulting in a homozygous genotype. The trait associated with this gene will not be expressed if a dominant allele is also present. Many genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, are inherited in a recessive manner.",
