It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
A chromosome can have both dominant and recessive genes for a specific trait, but only one gene will be expressed in an individual. The dominant gene will be expressed over the recessive gene in a heterozygous individual. This is known as the principle of dominance in genetics.
if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)
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.
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
Recessive gene is one which is supressed and do not show their characteristics and dominant gene is one which show their characteristics for example if a father has brown hair and mother has black hairs and if their son has black hair then in this case gene which has characteristics of black is dominant and the other which has characteristics of brown colour is recessive

heterozygous recessive
The genotype of a person with one dominate allele for a gene and one recessive would be expressed as Aa or Yy. You can use any letter you would like except one will be shown as a capital (dominate) and one as a lower case (recessive). This combination is heterozygous for that trait.
An organism with one dominant and one recessive gene for a trait is called a heterozygote. In this case, the dominant gene will be expressed in the organism's phenotype, while the recessive gene will not be expressed unless the organism inherits two copies of the 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.
