Dominant genes are shown for example as T recessive genes are shown as t if there is a dominant and recessive gene (Tt) then your child will get the dominant one this is called heterozygous. Meaning that they have two different genes for a trait such as curly hair and straight hair. There is also being homozygous (TT or tt) the only way your child could recieve a recessive gene such as left handednes, is if the two parents were carrying a recessive gene along with their dominant one or if they both were carrying two reccesive genes. the childs probable genotype can be explaind a lot better with a Punnet Square. I hope this wasn't too confusing.:-)

What is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?
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
The most powerful genes are said to be?
Dominant, as in dominant and recessive (weaker) genes.
What is the difference between dominant and recessive gene?
There are no such things as dominant and recessive genes. There are only dominant and recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are parts of a gene that present its features over the recessive allele, which is the one that is always masked by the dominant allele. The recessive allele's trait only shows if both of the alleles in a trait are recessive.
Are freckles dominant recessive or dominant dominant?
dominant genes for freckles
Can recessive genes become dominant?
Yes
Do dominant genes affect recessive genes?
The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away
Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?
Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
How do dominant and recessive genes work?
explain how dominant genes work
What is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?
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
The most powerful genes are said to be?
Dominant, as in dominant and recessive (weaker) genes.
The weaker of two genes is called what?
dominant

If an animal with 2 dominant genes for a trait has offspring with an animal with 2 recessive genes for same trait their offspring can only have what?
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
Are freckles dominant recessive or dominant dominant?
dominant genes for freckles
Can recessive genes become dominant?
Yes
What does pure dominant mean?
Pure dominant = two dominant genes that make a "pure dominant" trait. Pure Recessive = two recessive genes that make a "pure recessive" trait.
Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?
if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)
