Are dominant genes better then recessive?

In: Science, Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

Not always. Your father's DNA may code for a dominant gene to not be friendly to people and your mother's DNA may code for a recessive gene to be a very nice person. Recessive and dominant genes distinguish the likelihood of an offspring getting a certain characteristic. Dominant means: more likely and recessive means: less likely.

Hope this helped
