How dominance works at the DNA/RNA/protein... Suppose we have a gene G which comes in two forms, G (dominant) and g (recessive), and we have an individual who is Gg (heterozygous in that gene). ... plants are Green. So, green is dominant. At that point it’s called a trait locus. Than you do a lot of research and discover that this locus corresponds ...
