Jeannie,

That's actually a simple answer. The term for "powerful" in genetics
is "dominant". Yes dominant genes are the ones that usually show
phenotypically. Generally the heirarchy of what show up is: dominant--
incompletely dominant--recessive.

There is (of course;-) other stuff that goes on as well, but in
general, "powerful"=dominant.

Wishing I were in Texas tonight.........getting colder!
