No. |
Dominant genes |
Recessive genes |
Definition |
||
1. | When a dominant gene is expressed in trait by supressing other recessive gene then it is known as Dominant gene. | When a recessive gene is expressed and it cannot mask or supress the dominant gene then it is known as Recessive gene. |
More or less prone |
||
2. | The diseases are produced from more prone of dominant genes. | The diseases are produced from less prone of dominant genes. |
Polypeptide |
||
3. | In the dominant genes, complete polypeptide is produced. | In the recessive genes, incomplete polypeptide is produced. |
Trait |
||
4. | In the dominant genes, the dominant trait is expressed. | In the recessive genes, the recessive trait is expressed. |
Mask |
||
5. | The dominant gene mask recessive gene. | The recessive gene cannot mask dominant gene. |
Examples |
