Question

What is meant by a dominant and recessive gene? Give one example of each?

Answer 1

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 the dominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.

Explanation:

For example, in pea plants, the dominant gene for tallness is T and the recessive gene for dwarfism is t. Concept: Evolution.
