Why are dominant genes stronger than recessive genes?
the “dominant gene” protein has a stronger effect than does the “recessive gene” protein.a gene is dominate or recessive depends upon the amount of enzyme that is produced for that allele. Take eye color for an example will pretend that there is only one gene that determines eye color(which is untrue). Now remember each gene has two alleles. Will call the dominate brown eyed allele B and the recessive blue eyed allele b. Genes that determine eye color do so by generating the pigment compound melanin. The allele for blue eyes produces little melanin the allele for brown produces much more enough in fact to make your eyes brown even if you only have one copy. so Bb BB and bB all produce enough of melanin to make your eyes brown. However if you simply don’t have the allele for the production off all that pigment then your cells make due with what little they have and the result for bb is blue. So dominance is a matter of degree.
