If two genes in a gene pair are for the same trait for a certain trait what will that trait be?
it is based on the theory of the mendels theory of codominance as it states if the genes in the gene pair code for the same gene they give a mixed character
What traits hide other gene traits?
If the gene is dominant e.g brown eyed gene, it will probably over power a ressecive gene e.g blue eyes.
What causes genes to vary?
genes are kept in chromosomes, there is this thing called meiosis which is when the chromosomes/genes get split in half, one from both parents that way it equals the normal amount of genes later. the...
