- 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.

Some examples are variegate porphyria, Huntington's disease and myotonic dystrophy.

What is the least prevalent mode of inheritance?
x-linked dominant inheritance
The inheritance of Marfan syndrome is an example of?
The "autosomal dominant" method of inheritance. if your question as Marfan syndrome is the result of inheriting a single allele. Individuals with Marfan syndrome are tall and long-limbed, and have both cardiovascular and eye defects. The inheritance of Marfan syndrome is an example of ______. then the answer is pleiotropy
What is Mendel's Theory?
Gregor Mendel was a biologist who studied the inheritance of traits. His laws for this inheritance are combined in Mendelian inheritance, which states that some alleles are dominant and as such some traits are dominant.
What is the inheritance patteren for cat eye syndrome?
Autosomal Dominant
What occurs when a group of gene pairs act together to produce a single trait?
Polygenic Inheritance
Pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism?
The pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism is codominance. For example white and red hair color in cattle. Black and white feather color in certain chickens.
What type of inheritance pattern (are the A and B alleles to each other (Autosomal dominant-Regular dominant-recessive relationship, X linked, co-dominant, incomplete dominant)?
Incomplete dominance
What are the four complex patterns of inheritance?
Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive, X-linked recessive and X-linked dominant
Is a big penis homozygous recessive or dominant?
It's not really homozygous recessive or dominant. It is actually Polygenic Inheritance. For example, your mum is aabbcc and that means 6cm, and AABBCC is 12cm, AaBbCc would mean 9cm, as you only get half of each.
Blood types A B AB and O are the result of what inheritance?
it depends on what blood type that your parent has
What is inheritance in science terms?
Inheritance is the process by the which traits or characteristics pass from parents to their offspring through genes. Some of these characteristics are dominant and some are recessive and they are passed through inheritance.
What describes a pattern of inheritance in which one allele is only partially dominant?
Codominance
