Question

what is simple dominant inheritance

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Simple dominant inheritance is a type of genetic inheritance in which a dominant allele is sufficient to determine a particular trait or characteristic in an individual. This means that if an individual inherits one copy of the dominant allele from either parent, they will display the trait associated with that allele.

In simple dominant inheritance, the dominant allele masks the presence of recessive alleles. This means that even if an individual carries a recessive allele for a particular trait, they will still display the dominant trait if they also carry the dominant allele.

An example of simple dominant inheritance is the inheritance of brown eye color, where the allele for brown eyes (B) is dominant over the allele for blue eyes (b). If an individual inherits at least one copy of the dominant brown eye allele, they will have brown eyes, regardless of whether they also carry the recessive blue eye allele.
