A '''Dominant gene''' is a gene that almost always results in a specific [[physical]] characteristic, for example, a hereditary [[disease]], even though the patient's [[genome]] possesses only one copy. With a dominant gene, the chance of passing on the gene to children is 50-50 in each pregnancy.

A '''Dominant gene''' is a gene that almost always results in a specific [[physical]] characteristic, for example, a hereditary [[disease]], even though the patient's [[genome]] possesses only one copy. If one partner has a dominant gene, the chance of passing on the gene to children is 50-50 in each pregnancy, if both partners possess it, the chance increases to 75%, as a recessive gene will only show if paired with a recessive gene.
