A member asked:

What is the difference between an autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive trait?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Input required: In dominant disorders, the dominant member of the gene pair controls how the gene activities are expressed, so the other gene can carry the same or normal information.In recessive disorders, the normal gene compensates for the bad information in the other gene, allowing a person to function normally unless both genes carry the bad information.
