What is a recessive gene? |
|
Answer» With the BIRTH of a child, it gets its genes from both parents. Some genes 'OVERRIDE' other genes. Using hair color as EXAMPLE:If one parent is blond (Pb) and one parent is black hair (Pd), blond would be the recessive gene, and dark would be the DOMINANT gene. Meaning:Pb x Pb = Blond Pd x Pd = Dark Pb x Pd = Dark Pd x Pb = DarkRecessive genes occur in the genotype (inside the body, disease, disorder) or fenotype (APPEARANCE, blue eyes brown eyes). In all other cases, the dominant gene will override the recessive gene. |
