Every trait has two genes, one from each parent. (For each trait such as eye color and hair color) Dominant. Stronger or overpowers the recessive, it shows up, and we represent it with a capital letter. Recessive. Weaker genes, hidden, and represented with a lower case letter.

What does dominant traits mean? Dominant traits means the trait that is more likely to happen. What does recessive traits mean? Recessive traits are the trait that are less likley to happen and is the hidden gene. Does a recessive trait have 1 copy of the allele or 2? 2 copies of the allele.
A genetic trait is considered dominant if it is expressed in a person who has only one copy of the gene associated with the trait. An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations. the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
The dominant/recessive character is a relationship between two alleles and must be determined by observation of the heterozygous phenotype. An example of a simple phenotype is the flower colour in Mendel’s peas.

With respect to eye color, the allele for brown eyes (B) is dominant, and the allele for blue eyes (b) is recessive. If a person receives dominant alleles from both parents (BB) she will have brown eyes. If she receives a dominant allele from one parent and a recessive gene from the other (Bb) she will also have brown eyes. But if she receives rece...
Incomplete Dominance
When a parent has a homozygous trait (RR) that cannot completely dominate the other parent's differenthomozygous trait (WW), the genotype of both parents is said to be incompletely, or partially, dominant. Neither parent's dominant trait can overtake the other parent's dominant trait, and characteristics from both parents merge in the offspring. This results in a new, blended trait (phenotype) with a heterozygous genotype that can then be passed on to future offsprings. An example of incomple...
Codominance
With codominant genes, both characteristics from both parents are seen. For example, in the camellia shrub, flowers can be red or white, but if a plant receives its genes from two parent plants, one with white flowers and one with red, its flowers will have splotches of both red and white. As with incomplete dominance, recessive alleles are never present in either parent when codominance occurs.
Mixed Dominance
Some characteristics can be mixtures of the types of dominance described above. Human blood types are an example. A and B blood types are codominant. If a child receives the A blood type from one parent and the B blood type from the other, he will be type AB. This blood type has characteristics that are a mixture of type A and type B. However, both A and B are dominant over type O, another blood type. So if this child were instead to receive A from one parent and O from the other, he will be...
Some human diseases are hereditary. If one or both parents have a heritable disease, it may be passed down to a child. Genetic abnormalities may be passed down on dominant alleles (autosomal dominant inheritance) or recessive alleles (autosomal recessive inheritance). It is possible for a person to be a carrier of a disease but not have symptoms of...
Heredity: Crash Course Biology #9 - Crash Course on YouTubePatterns of Inheritance - OpenStax College1 day ago · Dominant, as related to genetics, refers to the relationship between an observed trait and the two inherited versions of a gene related to that trait. Individuals inherit two versions of each gene, known as alleles, from each parent.
