By reading the page about Mendal's discovery i learned a couple of things. I learned that a dominant gene is a gene that is stronger and powers over the recessive. This gene will be the one that you will see as a trait. For example, if your dad has brown hair and your mom has blond and you have brown. Your dad's genes were the dominant and that's how you have brown hair.
Another thing i learned is that whenever you write a dominant gene you always use capital letters. Recessive genes are writin with lower cassed. For example, if the dominant gene for the pea plant is tall you would write it like Tall. With the recessive gene, it is writin as tall.
