What is the difference between dominant and recessive??
Answers: dominate traits can be expressed in the heterozygous gene state. This means if you have one dominant and one recessive gene the dominant will prevail. ie one blue and one brown, brown will prevail.
Recessive traits must be homozygous in nature to be expressed. ie to have blue eyes you must have 2 blue eyed genes.
You can use a punnet square to calculate the odds of a recessive trait being expressed.
Dominant is the one that is more forceful , recessive is less. Like with genes, Brown eyes are dominant and green eyes are recessive. So if one person has brown eyes and the other has green, when they have a child the child will most likely have brown eyes.
Hope that helps!
Think about bullies and nerds. All you need is one bully to stand out (dominant), but if you get a bunch of nerds together(recessive), they can make the bully go away

Polio is not genetic.
To date only dominant genes were linked to Alzheimer's, but there is new evidence, that a recessive gene, may play a role in the development of Alzheimer's.

Congenital ptosis may occur through autosomal dominant inheritance. Common familial occurrences suggest that genetic or chromosomal defects are likely.
Hi, I don't think anyone knows at this point in time. Currently the thought is that there is a genetic component with perhaps an environmental trigger. Do a search for Parkinson's there are probably h
I think it's recessive alleles. Both parents must be a carrier.

The common form of ALS has no known inheritance pattern as it appears to be a sporadic disorder due to an unknown cause. There is a genetic form of ALS due to a mutation in an enzyme called superoxide
Neither. Down Syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome.
