A deleterious mutation has a negative effect on the phenotype, and thus decreases the fitness of the organism. (A harmful mutation)
The general definition of deleterious is "harmful". A deleterious gene is a gene that generally decreases the fitness of the individual.
Not always.
Polydactyl conditions in fingers and toes are dominant alleles and so is the alleles for dwarfism.
A mutation can be harmful but this is not always the case.
A change in the genetic pattern that results in characteristics that work against the survival and multiplication of the organism.
Good gene refers to a gene that codes for a desirable trait or characteristic that can enhance an organism's survival or reproductive success. Bad gene refers to a gene that codes for a detrimental trait or characteristic that can negatively impact an organism's survival or reproductive success. These terms are used to describe the effects of specific genes on an organism's traits and overall fitness.
Animals do not consciously adapt to their environment. Adaptations come about through mutant variations, most of which are detrimental. However, occasionally a mutation will be beneficial and allow the creature to survive more easily. Such a creature has more chances to procreate and pass on the successful mutation or gene.
The HOX gene or the master gene of D1x
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
A gene that hidden or mask to another gene expression.
No. Some variations are detrimental and that is what natural selection selects on; the beneficial variation in the immediate environment survives and is reproductively successful, driving genes into the gene pool. The detrimental variation is culled and has lesser representation in the gene pool unto disappearance.

Detrimental means harmful.
