=1375283870= = Definition: = toc Pattern of inheritance in which a single dominant gene influences a person's phenotype but two recessive genes are necessary to produce an associated trait. p.51 HGD Chapter 3, p. 51-53

= Examples: =

= Analogies: = 1. The dominant gene could be like a bossy person, the recessive like a shy person. If they walk around together only the loud person will be heard, but if two shy people walk together then they will both be heard. 2.the recessive gene is like a white sheet of paper and the dominant is like a colored dye. The color will always show up, but the white cannot over power the color. The white paper can only show up if there is no color dye.
