how does a protein differentiates a dominant and recessive gene. in case of incomplete dominance dominant is more expressed and recessive gene is less expressed , how does a protein know this much quantity of gene should be trancripted?

The Dominant allele masks the recessive allele, only at the phenotype. At the level of genes, and molecular biology. The

Genes are dominant or recessive based on what they code for. So, if a gene that codes for green hands does so by creating a green pigment, then you only need one copy of it to have that pigment, and it is dominant. But if it is a lack of pigment from that gene that makes the natural greenness of the hands show through, then a single gene that does not do that will make the hands orange instead of green, and makes it a recessive trait.

hmm ok.. in case og genomic imprinting there some methylated bases as result the protein can differentiate which gene to transcribe.. so i mean to say like will there same kind of mechanism to differentiate dominant and recessive alleles by protein or different???
