What else can I help you with?
What gene is always expressed?
Dominant genes will always be expressed however recessive genes would need to be inherited from both parents
What crosses will result in dominant phenotype offspring?
Don't give us the options then!! If one parent had 2 dominant genes then all offspring would have dominant phenotype, the same goes for both parents having dominant genes.
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.
What does dominate and recessive mean?
Dominant and Recessive refer to different types of genes a child gains from its parents. In general, a dominant gene overpowers a recessive gene (like more people have brown eyes than blue eyes), but there are some cases where recessive genes are visible on a child over the dominant gene.
The combination of genes in which a mixture of both traits show is called what?
The combination of genes in which both traits are expressed is called codominance. In codominance, neither gene is dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that shows a mixture of both traits.
What gene is always expressed?
Dominant genes will always be expressed however recessive genes would need to be inherited from both parents
What determines whether a person will have dominant or recessive hair color?
Hair color is determined by genes inherited from parents. Dominant genes for hair color will be expressed over recessive genes, resulting in the dominant color being displayed. If both parents pass on recessive genes, the recessive color will be seen.
What crosses will result in dominant phenotype offspring?
Don't give us the options then!! If one parent had 2 dominant genes then all offspring would have dominant phenotype, the same goes for both parents having 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.
If purple flower color is dominant over white flower color how can two purple flowered parents produce while flowered offspring?
It can happen when both parents are a heterozygous
Is it true that you will definitely inherit a genetic disease if both your parents show any sign of the disease?
IT depends if both parents have it on their genes (X and Y) as Dominant or Recessive, If one of them is dominant, you better expect to get it unless the other parent has a DOminant Counter-Gene

What is it when both genes are the same either both dominant or both recessive?
Homologous.
Your sons is 3 and has blue you have brown eyes and the wife has green eyes is this possible?
yes, it is possible. Obviously then, both of the parents had the recessive gene and it showed in the child's genes. If you do a punnet square on both of the parent's genes, you an find out the different possibilities of offspring that can be born. This child got both recessive genes from both of the parents. the ancestors of the parents must have passed down the recessive gene tough the dominant might have shown.

Do the father gene override the mothers?
the dominant gene is not determined by mom or dad. its determined by whoever (could be either or both) has the dominant gene. not all genes over ride another gene though. codominance is possible which is where both dominant, different genes are expressed in different areas of the organism (fur color for example) in different concentrations (pink flower from red and white parent flowers is another example. what we see is the dominant red gene but since the white gene is also mixed in, our eyes see a lighter red color).
