A child inherits a quality if one its parents has the dominant gene for it.
With a recessive characteristic, both parents have to have it.
Alleles can either be recessive or dominant. Dominant alleles produce a dominant trait which is normally seen, whereas although the recessive allele is present, the recessive trait is not normally visible. However, in cases of codominance and complete dominance the dominant trait does not completely hide the recessive trait and it can show through.
recessive
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
Recessive
bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
is malignant melanoma dominant or recessive
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
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.
Recessive
recessive
If the gene is governed by a dominant and recessive allele, then if the dominant allele is present, the dominant trait will be expressed. If both alleles are recessive, then the recessive trait will be expressed.
Alleles can either be recessive or dominant.
