These are terms used in a punnet square. Dominant is the Phenotype, or a gene that is predicted to be expressed in a heterozygous being- the offspring of two beings with different traits. Recessive is the Genotype, or a gene that is predicted to be hidden in the Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, (DNA,) of a heterozygous being. Sometimes there is Codominance, where both genes are fully expressed, or incomplete dominance, where the genes are mixed, and are partially expressed.
A dominant gene will hide the recessive gene. It is shown as a capital letter in the gene. (i.e. Rr, R is the dominant gene) In blood type, A is dominant over O. So if a person has Ao for their genes, they will have A type blood.
A recessive gene will be hidden unless there are two of the same recessive gene. It is shown as a lowercase letter in the gene (i.e. Rr, r is the recessive gene). In blood type, O is the recessive allele, so you cannot have O type blood unless you have 2 O alleles: oo.
If we were talking about eye colour and the blue eye gene came from your dad (recessive) and the brown from you mum (dominant) then the dominant gene would over power the recessive gene you would end up with brown eyes. That's just the basics it can get alot more confusing. Btw I was just taking a guess about which 1 is recessive and which is dominant
A recessive gene is a gene that is hidden by another genetic trait. A dominant gene is one that is expressed
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
heterozygous recessive
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
explain how dominant genes work
dominant allele will overthrow a recessive one
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).
is malignant melanoma dominant or recessive
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
Dominant definitely not dominant. It is recessive objectively and subjectively and unequivocally.
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
Recessive
recessive
B is dominant and b is recessive.
The Vulcan is the dominant expression.The earthling sign is recessive.
is restless leg syndrome dominant or recessive
it is dominant
