  2. A dominant trait is an inherited characteristic that appears in an offspring if it is contributed from a parent through a dominant allele. Traits, also known as phenotypes, may include features such as eye color, hair color, immunity or susceptibility to certain diseases and facial features such as dimples and freckles.

    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.

    Dominant traits are those that are more likely to be expressed in an organisms phenotype, or physical characteristics. These traits are determined by dominant genes, which mask the presence of recessive genes.

    Dominant traits are characteristics that are expressed more prominently in an individuals genetic makeup. These traits are the result of dominant genes that overpower recessive genes, determining the outward appearance or behavior of an organism.

    If a plant has one green and one yellow seed allele, the dominant yellow allele prevails and leads to yellow seeds. Mendel’s framework for understanding traits was essential in establishing the field of genetics.

    Dominant Traits. Dominant traits are characteristics that are expressed when an individual has at least one copy of the dominant gene. These traits tend to be more common in the population because individuals with just one copy of the dominant gene can exhibit the trait.

  8. Dominant Gene and Recessive Gene: Understanding the Basics

    When it comes to understanding how traits are inherited, one of the fundamental concepts is the difference between dominant and recessive genes. These two types of genes play a crucial role in determining an organism’s characteristics, known as the phenotype.
