How does dominance apply to heredity?
If some gene is dominant it will always be more hereditary than a non-dominant gene. Like brown eyes, the brown eye gene is dominant so a couple with blue and brown eyes will have a child with brown eyes no matter what.
Is the Huntingtons gene inherited as a dominant or ressisive gene?
It is inherited by a dominant gene.
When one gene expresses itself over another the former gene is said to be the DNA?
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
What is meant by dominat and ressesivegene give an exampleof each?
A dominant gene refers to a gene that is expressed over another gene in the same position on a chromosome. It will always show its trait in the individual's phenotype if it is present in their genotype. For example, if a person inherits a dominant gene for brown eyes, they will have brown eyes regardless of whether they also have a recessive gene for blue eyes. On the other hand, a recessive gene refers to a gene that is not expressed when there is a dominant gene present. It is only expressed in the phenotype when there are two copies of the recessive gene in the genotype. An example is the gene for blue eyes, which will only be expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive gene and no dominant gene for brown eyes.
What is recessive gene and dominant gene?
A dominant gene is always expressed if present, and the recessive gene is only expressed with the homozygous recessive genotype. For example, if the dominant gene is red (represented by the letter R) and the recessive gene is white (represented by the letter r), then a homozygous dominant organism's genotype will be RR, and its phenotype will be red. If the organism is homozygous recessive, then the genotype will be rr and the phenotype will be white. If the organism is heterozygous, then the genotype will be Rr, and the organism will be red.
To have blond hair do both of your genes have to be for blond hair?
not necessarily.ok there are two parents each giving the child one gene. if one gene is recessive and one is dominant the dominant gene will decide the hair color. example the recessive gene is black hair and the dominant gene is blonde the child will most likely have blonde hair because the dominant gene is blonde hair. the dominant gene masks the recessive gene
What is a dominant gene and what is a recessive gene?
Recessive gene is one which is supressed and do not show their characteristics and dominant gene is one which show their characteristics for example if a father has brown hair and mother has black hairs and if their son has black hair then in this case gene which has characteristics of black is dominant and the other which has characteristics of brown colour is recessive
What is an example of dominant inheritance?
Dominant Inheritance is when one parent has a dominant gene and the other has a recessive gene. The dominant gene overpowers the recessive gene, and only the dominant gene is phenotypically expressed.Source: http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/recessive.phpSome examples are variegate porphyria, Huntington's disease and myotonic dystrophy.source: http://genome.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_WTD020849.html
How do you spell recesive?
The correct spelling is recessive (refers to non-dominant gene).

What does non dominant group mean?
A non-dominant group is the group with less power.. For example women are non-dominant, men are dominant, heterosexuals are dominant, gays are non-dominant. The group that sets the polices, laws and "standards" OS dominant. The group with power is the dominant group.

Dominant gene plus Dominant gene?
It would be definite that you have that gene or trait.
Is the Huntingtons gene inherited as a dominant or ressisive gene?
It is inherited by a dominant gene.

What is a non example for a gene?
a man
