Genes have dominant and recessive alleles because of the way they interact with each other. Dominant alleles are expressed over recessive alleles because they carry instructions that override the instructions of the recessive allele. This dominance is determined by the specific genetic makeup and interactions within an organism.
What else can I help you with?
Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on?
its random really, some genes are recessive, and some are dominant if a gene is dominant than it will be expressed if it is present the only way for a recessive gene to be expressed is if there are two alleles for that traitIt's not random at all. There can be many reasons. One classic reason is given here. First, know that most genes encode proteins. A dominant gene (really, an allele) may encode for a functional protein while a recessive gene may encode for a non-functional proteindominant genes contain genes that are strong and recessive genes contain genes that are weak.
What are some examples of dominant or recessive genes?
Examples of dominant genes include brown eyes and attached earlobes, where the dominant allele will be expressed over its recessive counterpart. Recessive genes include blue eyes and detached earlobes, which will only be expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
What are individual versions of genes called?
Individual versions of genes are called alleles. Alleles are variations of a gene that can result in different traits or characteristics in an organism. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
How do you know if a gene is dominant or recessive?
A dominant allele expresses itself in every offspring in every generation. A dominant allele expresses itself irrespective of the other allele present along with it. A recessive allele, however is masked by the presence of dominant allele. It can express itself only if the other gene in the allele pair is also recessive. As a result, it is not expressed phenotypically in every generation.
Why some chromosomes are recessive and the others are domainent?
Actually a chromosome consists of many genes/alleles and is neither recessive or dominant in and of itself.

Is the following sentence true or false all genes show simple patterns of dominant and recessive alleles?
False. Blood type genes have two dominant alleles (A and B), and one recessive (O). When a person gets one A allele and one B allele, they then have the blood type AB. Both are expressed equally. In other genes, a dominant allele might not be completely dominant, allowing the recessive allele to be partially expressed.
Can you tell by looking at someone if they are pure or hybrid for a dominant gene?
There are two ways to tell. Get a gene test or marry some one with the recessive trait and have 2 to four kids. Otherwise, no. There are two terms, genotype and phenotype. Genes can get pretty complicated because there are dominant and recessive genes. Dominant genes cover the expression of recessive genes so it is hard to tell if someone has an underlying recessive gene. When someone has a homozygous dominant gene, meaning both alleles are dominant, has the same phenotype as a heterozygous gene meaning one dominant and one recessive allele. Their genotypes are different, but their phenotype will look the same.
What is it when an allele is neither dominant nor recessive?
When an allele is neither dominant nor recessive, it means that both alleles equally influence the trait. This is known as codominance, where both alleles are expressed in the phenotype of the individual.
Is recessive allele the one which is hidden whenever the dominant is present?
Yes, a recessive allele is only expressed when an individual has two copies of that allele (homozygous recessive) or when the dominant allele is absent. It is "hidden" in the presence of a dominant allele.
What are some examples of dominant or recessive genes?
Examples of dominant genes include brown eyes and attached earlobes, where the dominant allele will be expressed over its recessive counterpart. Recessive genes include blue eyes and detached earlobes, which will only be expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
What are the states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive?
Mendel's law of inheritance.
What are individual versions of genes called?
Individual versions of genes are called alleles. Alleles are variations of a gene that can result in different traits or characteristics in an organism. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
What is the allele which is overuled?
The two types of alleles are dominant and recessive. The recessive allele will still be present but the recessive trait is not usually seen. However, is not always overruled. In the cases of codominance and incomplete dominance, the recessive trait still shows through some of the dominant one.
What alleles are mask in complete dominance?
A recessive trait is a trait with two contrasting alleles. In some cases contrasting alleles for a trait are codominan, that is, both are expressed.
Is parkinsons disease recessive or dominant?
it could be in the recessive form or some genes may be iherited as autosomal dominant form as SNCA and LRRK2
