How are dominant genes used?

In genetics, an offspring receives a gene from each parent for a particular trait (an allele). If the two alleles are for different characteristics, such as blue eyes and brown eyes, then usually one of the characteristics will show up in the offspring while the other is masked. The trait that shows up is the dominant gene.


What if a gene skips a child can that gene be given to there kid?

A person can only pass on genes that he/she has inherited from his/her parents. You may be talking about a situation in which a recessive gene is not expressed in a child because it inherited a dominant allele as well, and is heterozygous for that trait. If that child then has his/her own child, the recessive trait could be expressed in the children of that child, if the other parent also carries the recessive allele.Example: One parent has brown eyes, the other has blue eyes. Their child inherited a brown eye allele and a blue eye allele, and has brown eyes, but is heterozygous. This child then has a child with another brown-eyed person, and their offspring has blue eyes, even though both parents have brown eyes. It just so happens that both of these parents are heterozygous for brown eyes, so they both carry the recessive blue-eyed allele which they each passed on to their blue-eyed offspring. So, this makes it look like the blue-eyed allele skipped a generation, but in reality it was always there, but not always expressed.


If a brown eyed woman has a blue eyed mother what is the brown eyed woman's genotype?

The brown eyed woman is heterozygous genotype with a dominance of brown eyes, usually represented Bb -- capital 'B' as the brown gene and lower case 'b' as the blue gene. She has the possibility of passing both blue and brown eyes onto her offspring, however blue eyes only have a 25% chance of being expressed in the offspring The brown eyed woman is heterozygous genotype with a dominance of brown eyes, usually represented Bb -- capital 'B' as the brown gene and lower case 'b' as the blue gene.

What is a dominant trait when a red eyed fly mates with a blue eyed fly resulting in offspring that all have red eyes?

It is likely that the red eye trait is dominant if a red eye and blue eye fly have only red eyed offspring. However, it is possible that the blue eyed trait is dominant and the blue eyed fly has the red eyed gene and passed it on to its offspring every time.


What is a dominate trait when a red-eyed fly mates with a blue-eyed fly resulting in offspring that all have red eyes?

It is likely that the red eye trait is dominant if a red eye and blue eye fly have only red eyed offspring. However, it is possible that the blue eyed trait is dominant and the blue eyed fly has the red eyed gene and passed it on to its offspring every time.


How do you look like your parents?

Each parent has a set of genes that is passed on to his/her offspring (children) and which genes become apparent in the child is all dependent on whichever genes are dominant over the recessive genes. For example, one parent may have blue eyes (dominant) and another has green eyes (recessive); it is more likely that the child will have blue eyes than green eyes*. *This example was merely for explanation; I don't know if blue eyes are dominant over green eyes or not.
