genes can be codominant for example in blood groups a person can be A,B,AB or O. neither A nor B is more or less dominant than each other but they are dominant over O.
there are many other types of dominance/recessive relationships in genes. you could look up epistasis on wikipedia to get a better idea of the bigger picture.

The most powerful genes are said to be?
Dominant, as in dominant and recessive (weaker) genes.
Gene pairs consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
What is two dominant alleles called?
In eyes, it would be brown is dominant, and blue is recessive. Free earlobe allele is said to be dominant over the attached earlobe allele. When an organism has two dominant alleles for a trait, it is called homozygous dominant. Two recessive alleles for a trait is homozygous recessive.
How are two traits that have Dominant and Recessive alleles inherited?
The trait received is recessive.
What kind of allele must an organism inherit in order for a recessive trait to show up?
Neither of the parents will be affected. There may not be any one with he disease in either of the parents families (or there might be). Since each parent is a carrier and has a 50/50 chance of passing one copy of the gene to each child 1/4 of the children will not get the gene, 1/2 will be carriers (1 copy) and 1/4 wil be affected (2 copies).
When neither gene in a genotype pair is dominant and neither gene is recessive the genes are said to be .?
Incomplete dominant alleles.
The most powerful genes are said to be?
Dominant, as in dominant and recessive (weaker) genes.
A gene is recessive when?
Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.
My children were born had a plus now mydaughter is pregnant and doctor said she is a - can this happen?
Odds are one of the tests were mixed up or done improperly. Have her get retested by her Dr to make sure. Also could the genes be a factor? + blood could be dominant, - recessive and the daughter could have had dominant and recessive genes for blood types, and her boyfriend could be recessive or dominant and recessive, so when their DNA mixed, the result could have been double recessive.?
An organism with two different alleles for a single trait is said to be heterozygous?
A heterozygous is a hybrid of genes. It has a dominant and recessive gene. The dominant gene covers over the recessive trait, making the individual have the dominant trait. (trait are alleles...) or apex ans:two
Traits determined by recessive genes located on the x chromosomes are said to be?
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
What are the most powerful genes are said to be?
Dominant
Gene pairs consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
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.
If two genes in a gene pair are for the same trait what will that trait be?
The question should be "If two alleles for a gene are the same, what phenotype will the organism have?" Answer: If the two alleles are for the dominant phenotype, the organism will exhibit the dominant phenotype. If the two alleles are for the recessive phenotype, the organism will have the recessive phenotype.
What are the similarities between dominant and recessive hands?
right-handers are said to be dominant.......while left-handers are recessive. U don't see left handers a lot, do you? (no offense to any left-handers)
What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles on the basis of DNA?
Dominant alleles override recessive alleles. For instance, if there is both a dominant allele and a recessive allele present the dominant allele will be the trait that you end up with. If you have two recessive alleles, then you will have the recessive trait. :::::::::::::::brown eyes overrided blue eyes, because they are darker:::::::::::::::::: usually a darker color overpowered/override the lighter ones....i dont really know why but my science teacher said so......
