Question

Explain Mendel’s view of a dominant trait. Give an example.(Delhi - 2011)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Some of the key elements of Mendel's original model were: Heritable traits are determined by heritable factors, now called genes. ... When an organism has two different alleles of a gene, one (the dominant allele) will hide the presence of the other (the recessive allele) and determine appearance.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mendelian traits in humans concerns how, in Mendelian inheritance, a child receiving a dominant allele from either parent will have the dominant form of the phenotypic trait or characteristic. Only those that received the recessive allele from both parents, known as zygosity, will have the recessive phenotype.
