No - the father's genes are not always the dominant genes.

Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?

Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.


What gene is always expressed?

Dominant genes will always be expressed however recessive genes would need to be inherited from both parents


Genes that prevent the other gene from showing traits are called?

Dominant genes. Dominant genes are always expressed in an organism's phenotype when present, masking the expression of recessive genes.


Why do dominant genes always cover up recessive genes?

Because of Law of dominance


Recessive genes will always be masked by dominant genes This is Mendel's principle of?

This is Mendel's principle of dominance. Dominant alleles will always mask the presence of recessive alleles in a heterozygous genotype.


Are polygenic genes dominant genes?

Polygenic genes are usually dominant genes.


Genes that always show themselves are called?

Genes that always show themselves are called dominant genes. These genes are always expressed in the organism's phenotype, regardless of whether the individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele.


Do dominant genes affect recessive genes?

The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away


How do dominant and recessive genes work?

explain how dominant genes work


What type of allele masks the expression of the recessive allele?

Two recessive alleles can not take over a dominant allele because there are only two alleles in a pair. This can only happen if there is a mutation because the dominant always takes over the recessive.


What is the difference between dominant and recessive gene?

There are no such things as dominant and recessive genes. There are only dominant and recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are parts of a gene that present its features over the recessive allele, which is the one that is always masked by the dominant allele. The recessive allele's trait only shows if both of the alleles in a trait are recessive.


What are the difference between dominant and recessive genes?

Dominant genes will cover up recessive genes. Take a simplified version of eye color for example. Brown is dominant and blue is recessive. Someone might have the allele for both brown and blue, but their eyes will be brown because of the dominent brown gene. If there are two parents that carry the recessive gene, neither will be blue eyed, but they will have a chance of having a blue eyed child if both pass on the recessive gene.
