DOMINANT & RECESSIVE GENES IN CONCEPTION

The opposite of a dominant gene in conception is a recessive gene.

While a dominant gene only needs one copy from either parent to express its trait, a recessive gene is "quieter." It will typically remain hidden unless it is paired with another identical recessive gene.

Here is a quick breakdown of how they contrast:

Dominant vs. Recessive Genes

  • Dominant Genes: They take charge. If you inherit a dominant gene from even one parent, that trait will show up (e.g., brown eyes or dark hair).
  • Recessive Genes: They step back. For a recessive trait to actually show up in a child, the child must inherit the recessive gene from both parents. If they only get one, they become a "carrier" for that trait but won't physically show it.

How It Works in Conception

When a sperm and an egg combine, the baby gets two copies of every gene (one from mom, one from dad). Scientists use uppercase letters for dominant genes and lowercase letters for recessive genes to map out how these traits might pair up:

Gene Combination (Genotype)

What Happens (Phenotype)

Dominant + Dominant ($BB$)

The dominant trait is expressed.

Dominant + Recessive ($Bb$)

The dominant trait masks the recessive one, but the child is a carrier.,;p

Recessive + Recessive ($bb$)

Fun Fact: Traits like blue eyes, red hair, and straight hair lines are all examples of physical traits controlled by recessive genes!

      I have a disability, but I am not a nutter, I am actively managing my disability to not propagate beyond me, by being a Sub to normal women. that recesses my disabled gene, so it is not passed on or is forever dormant. Travers, who has a serotonin neurochemical deficit by genetic mutation, is an avowed DOM, so he is ensuring his genetic disability is being passed on to progeny….his children. He IS a nutter.

        My belief in feminism, is an individual approach to overcome my disability in family making, not because I believe women are superior, it was pragmatic therapeutic method.

          I understood this that by deferential behaviour to a woman, prioritising the womans character and emotional needs, I could be reproductive with a woman even though I had a disability in disregulated Dopamine neurochemical, it being a recessive gene, remaining dormant ina conception with a woman who did not have the same gene mutation that causes my disability. I was trying to engineer out my disability in a conception with a normal woman, by letting her be the 'dom'…THIS IS MY THEORY< there is no similar theory of overcoming disability in a conception this way in evidence based science possibly because it is breaking new ground in genetic manipulation by behaviourism or personal belief and practice. I am a feminist, to be able to recess my disability, by making the woman's genes dominant.
