In genetics, an offspring receives a gene from each parent for a particular trait (an allele). If the two alleles are for different characteristics, such as blue eyes and brown eyes, then usually one of the characteristics will show up in the offspring while the other is masked. The trait that shows up is the dominant gene.

What is the term used to describe the strongest gene from a pair of genes?
The dominant allele.
Are the fathers genes always the dominant genes?
No, the father's genes are not always dominant. Inheritance patterns can vary depending on the specific genes and traits being considered. Some traits may be dominant if they are expressed over recessive genes, while other traits may exhibit co-dominance or incomplete dominance.
A trait which results from two dominant genes is called?
It would depend on if the dominant genes are the same or different. Say the dominant alleles were different. In this case, they are co-dominant. If they are the same and both dominant homosytus.
Which are genes that keep others from showing their trait called?
Recessive traits are shadowed by Dominant genes. In other words, the Dominant gene covers the Recessive.
What is a plant that has two dominant genes or two genes called?
a homozygous
Are polygenic genes dominant genes?
Polygenic genes are usually dominant genes.
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
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.
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.
Which versions of genes are dominant over others in genetic inheritance?
In genetic inheritance, dominant genes are versions of genes that are expressed over recessive genes. Dominant genes mask the effects of recessive genes when they are present together in an individual's genetic makeup.
What do you call oransim that posssses two dominant or two recessive genes for a single trait?
Homozygous dominant for two dominant genes or homozygous recessive for two recessive genes.
What is the term used to describe the strongest gene from a pair of genes?
The dominant allele.

What will happen if an organism has the dominant gene?
Dominant genes express themselves, phenotype depends upon genes .
What are capital genes?
capital genes are dominant genes as they are written by capital letters
