Genetic Advice Question: A close friend confides in you that he
... My friend and his wife both have the blonde and brown hair gene. The brown hair gene is represented by the capital ‘b’ because it’s dominant; it’s more likely to show. The blonde hair gene is represented by a lowercase ‘b’ because it’s recessive, and has less likely chances of making an impact on t ...
