Why are dominant genes dominant

And recessive genes recessive?

Nice copypasta.

But that's a pretty poor explanation. All that shows is that a knockout on only one chromosome will often still be functional. It doesn't explain anything about dominance. If that were the only explanation, all genes would be codominant.

Dominance is something that would have to be looked at on a gene by gene basis. Each case is a matter of how the alleles interact, and can't be generalized easily.
