A genetic trait is considered dominant if it is expressed in a person who has only one copy of that gene. (In genetic terms, a dominant trait is one that is phenotypically expressed in heterozygotes).A dominant trait is opposed to a recessive trait which is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present. (In genetic terms, a recessive trait [..]

main or most important.

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.

A genetic trait or disorder is dominant when only one copy of the gene is necessary for the trait to develop. A recessive trait or disorder develops when two copies of the gene are inherited. 4 Animat [..]

Allele that determines phenotype in a heterozygous individual carrying another recessive allele.

A gene that masks one or more of its alleles. See recessive. dominant plants

Describing an allele whose phenotype is expressed regardless of whether the organism is homozygous or heterozygous for that allele.

An allele

Nature of inheritance of a phenotype

(French : dominant) An allele that is almost always expressed, even if only one copy is present.

An organism that behaves in such a way as to be in a position over others of the same species. The allele of a gene which requires only one copy to be present in an individual for that trait to be present.

Every cell contains two copies of each gene. When only one of the gene copies, or alleles, is mutated and the other allele is “correct,” yet the person is affected by a disorder due to that mutation, the mutation is described as dominant. The mutated gene is said to be dominant over the other, correct copy of the gene. A disorder or characteristic [..]

Having power and influence. In genetics, a dominant gene is a gene that expresses its instructions. Top

When referring to genes, a dominant gene is one that almost always will be expressed and lead to a specific physical characteristic. A dominant trait is the one that will be expressed in individuals that are either homozygous or heterozygous.

Refers to a trait that appears in an organism even if only one copy of the gene is present.

An organism that behaves in such a way as to be in a position over others of the same species. The allele of a gene which requires only one copy to be present in an individual for that trait to be present.

An allele that determines phenotype even when heterozygous. Also the trait controlled by that allele.
