Genes which take precedence over their opposite number - recessive genes. i.e. when the genetic make-up of an organism is being determined the dominant gene will out-rank any recessive gene and more often than not be the determinant one.

What are the parents if 75 of the offspring have a Dominant gene?

If 75 offspring have a Dominant gene, then the parents must have at least one Dominant gene each. This would make them either Dominant Homozygous (DD) or Heterozygous (Dd) for the Dominant trait.
