Question

an example of what a dominant trait mean

Answer 1

If a dominant trait is present, it will "take over" a recessive trait. An example would be brown eyes versus blue eyes, it is impossible for two people that have brown eyes to have a blue eyed child.

Answer 2

Hmm...Consider...For example, for a particular gene, say the ability to roll your tongue, there is a dominant and a recessive gene. We can call the dominant allele ‘R’ for being able to roll our tongue and the recessive allele ‘r’ for being unable to roll our tongue.

Answer 3

Oh I see, Thanks so much! so having the same eye or hair color as your parent is recessive?

Answer 4

@Koikkara and @maddiekitsune

Answer 5

Having the SAME color as your parents would be the dominant trait presentation but having a different color would be recessive trait presentation. It's all dependant on what allele's are present like Koikkara said, if one parent has Rr (dominant/recessive) and the other has Rr as well, it is possible for the recessive trait to show.

Answer 6

oh lol I had it confused haha thanks
