dominant is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. recessive is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor.
When a recessive and dominant gene mix, the dominant gene will typically determine the trait expressed in the offspring. This is known as dominant inheritance, where the dominant gene masks the presence of the recessive gene in determining the phenotype.
In terms of genetics, the straight thumb trait is typically considered a dominant trait, while the curved thumb trait is considered recessive. This means that if a person inherits even one copy of the straight thumb gene, they are likely to have a straight thumb.
at least one dominant allele: The answer above ^ is WRONG: The notation TT means that the chromosomes that carry alleles for a certain characteristics both have a dominant gene,which means TT is a two dominant alleles because each T is one dominant allele. SHORTER IS: 2 DOMINANT ALLELES.
polydactyly Because it has to do with the frequency of the allele for 6 digits. Although this is dominant, its occurance is much lower than the ressesive 5 fingers. I think Natural selection plays a part in this phalangeal paradox. Maybe the ones with 6 fingers could not buy gloves in the winter so they froze to death,...
The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype is "dominant." Dominant alleles are expressed phenotypically when present, masking the effects of recessive alleles.

When a recessive and dominant gene mix, the dominant gene will typically determine the trait expressed in the offspring. This is known as dominant inheritance, where the dominant gene masks the presence of the recessive gene in determining the phenotype.
Huntington's Disease is an Autosomal Dominant Trait, meaning that only one parent needs to pass the disease for the offspring to inherit it.
I was doing a presentation on Canavan Disease and had a lot of trouble finding wether it was dominant or recessive. I found the answer and thought i should make it easier for others. Canavan Disease is recessive
In terms of genetics, the straight thumb trait is typically considered a dominant trait, while the curved thumb trait is considered recessive. This means that if a person inherits even one copy of the straight thumb gene, they are likely to have a straight thumb.

dominate is you strong trait, and ressesive is your weak trait
