What is dominant gene and recessive gene?

Question

Answer

The trait which are controlled by gene, expresses it's character is called 'Dominant gene'.

The trait which are controlled by gene, doesn't expresses it's character is called 'Recessive gene'.

Answer

Dominant alleles show their effect even if the individual only has one copy of the allele also known as being heterozygous .[WHERE  AS] Recessive alleles only show their effect if the individual has two copies of the allele also known as being homozygous .

Answer

Dominant refers to the relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive two versions of each gene, known as alleles, from each parent. If the alleles of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed; it is thedominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.

Answer

What are dominant and recessive alleles?

Different versions of a gene are called alleles. Alleles are described as either dominant or recessive depending on their associated traits.

Since human cells carry two copies of each chromosome? they have two versions of each gene?. These different versions of a gene are called alleles?.

Alleles can be either dominant? or recessive?.

Dominant alleles show their effect even if the individual only has one copy of the allele (also known as being heterozygous?). For example, the allele for brown eyes is dominant, therefore you only need one copy of the 'brown eye' allele to have brown eyes (although, with two copies you will still have brown eyes).

If both alleles are dominant, it is called codominance?. The resulting characteristic is due to both alleles being expressed equally. An example of this is the blood group AB which is the result of codominance of the A and B dominant alleles.

Recessive alleles only show their effect if the individual has two copies of the allele (also known as being homozygous?). For example, the allele for blue eyes is recessive, therefore to have blue eyes you need to have two copies of the 'blue eye' allele.

Answer

The gene expresse itself in the presence of another gene are said to be dominant gene and those which can't express in presence of another gene are said to be recessive gene. we are also define it as the gene expressed in F1 generation are called dominant gene and not expressed in F1 generation are called recessive gene.

Answer

Those gene which shows his appearance with another unidentical gene is called Dominant gene and they always represent in a capital letters.where recesive gene are those gene which shows his appearance with another identical gene is called recessive gene.they are always represent in a small letters.

Answer

The traits of any gene which can easily identified by common Things....And recessive gene can't be examine easily... bcz...it's unable to express itself as comparatively to Dominant...
