Talk:Dominant gene

Isn't it the allele, not the gene, that's dominant. So this article should be titled, "Dominant Allele" and be redirected from anyone searching for "dominant gene".
 * I thought alleles were two pairs of genes that controled the same characteristic? Wouldn't that make alleles = genes? I don't know this is all way over my head. --Banana04131 17:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Er... this is confusing... I think alleles are factors that control the trait for a certain gene. The gene itself is not dominant; they are units of heredity. Perhaps move to Dominant trait? I guess then we also have to move Recessive gene if this article is moved. AndyZ 21:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Genes are section of DNA coding for one character. Alleles represent the phenotypic possibilities for the gene. Let me give a Medelian exemple to be more clear. The gene of the flower's color have two possible alleles: the white allele, wich is recessive, and the purple one, wich is dominant. So, I will agree with the idea that this article should be titled "Dominant Allele".

Something is missing in the sentence "Incomplete dominance occurs when certain of the recessive gene appears within the phenotype of the organism, causing a blend in between both the dominant and recessive gene.", or at least it could be expressed a more clearly. --HannsEwald 10:46, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Merge to dominant allele / dominance realtionship
I agree with the comment above that this article should be called dominant allele. I merged it with dominant allele and redirected it, but user:AgentPeppermint reverted my changes. This is pointless because dominant allele is also going to be merged with dominance relationship - in the meantime (until someone actually takes the time to merge into dominance relationship), why not correct the title?
