A dominant gene or variant, refers to gene alleles ("variants") that "beat" other (recessive) genes. Meaning that if an individual has both a dominant and a recessive allele for a certain trait, the dominant allele will express itself "over" the recessive one, affecting the phenotype accordingly.
A common example, while being a simplification of the actual complexities of the matter, is hair color. Brown hair is dominant over blond hair. A person with blond hair has both genes for that trait recessive, while a person with brown hair can have either both "brown hair color" genes or one "brown hair color" gene plus one "blond hair color" gene.
gene that produces the same phenotype in the organism whether or not its allele identical.
An uppercase letter
No - the father's genes are not always the dominant genes.
It would depend on if the dominant genes are the same or different. Say the dominant alleles were different. In this case, they are co-dominant. If they are the same and both dominant homosytus.
What passes traits to it's offspring is the dominant genes that over power the non dominant genes. Whether there are more dominant genes also depends a lot on who the other mate is.
a homozygous
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
Polygenic genes are usually dominant genes.
No - the father's genes are not always the dominant genes.
The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away
explain how dominant genes work
Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
Dominant, as in dominant and recessive (weaker) genes.
dominant genes for freckles
Dominant genes express themselves, phenotype depends upon genes .
Homozygous recessive: is when the genes are both recessive Homozygous dominant: is when the genes are both dominant (traits show) Heterozygous dominant: is when one gene is dominant and one is recessive (traits show) Heterozygous recessive: is the same as heterozygous dominant but the dominant genes are inactive
capital genes are dominant genes as they are written by capital letters
It would depend on if the dominant genes are the same or different. Say the dominant alleles were different. In this case, they are co-dominant. If they are the same and both dominant homosytus.
What passes traits to it's offspring is the dominant genes that over power the non dominant genes. Whether there are more dominant genes also depends a lot on who the other mate is.
