because it dominates the phenotype
Dominant alleles :-)
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.
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
Only one dominant allele is needed to display the dominant phenotype. Dominant alleles are expressed when present, masking the effect of recessive alleles.
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.
When an allele creates a visible trait, it is called a dominant allele. Dominant alleles mask the expression of recessive alleles when present in a heterozygous individual.
Codominace
No, recessive alleles are equally likely to be inherited (if your dealing with only those two types of alleles). BUT, dominant alleles are the ones that show up. That is precisely why they are called dominant. Compared to recessive alleles, dominant ones will overrule the others, making it the one inherited.
Organisms with alleles BB are considered homozygous dominant. This means that the dominant allele (B) is expressed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals.
co dominant alleles are expressed as IA
you mean phenotype, and its dominant alleles

wha- dominant? alleles?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
Capital letters usually denote dominant alleles. Therefore QQ genotype would contain two dominant alleles for the Q genotype.
