Ovarian cancer and Breast cancer are held in the gene mutations BRCA1 and BRCA2, which only one parents needs in their genes to pass on to their children. So it is dominant.

Is pancreatic cancer recessive or dominant?

Pancreatic cancer is not caused by a single gene mutation that follows typical dominant or recessive inheritance patterns. Instead, it is usually the result of multiple genetic and environmental factors interacting over time. Some inherited genetic mutations, such as those in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, but they do not follow a simple dominant or recessive pattern.

When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?

A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.


Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?

In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.
