The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The masking or overriding variant is said to be dominant and the other recessive.
- This state of having two different variants of the same gene, one on each copy of the chromosome, is originally caused by a mutation in one of the genes, either new or inherited.
- The terms autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive are used to describe gene variants on non-sex chromosomes and their associated traits, while those on sex chromosomes are termed X-linked dominant, X-linked recessive or Y-linked, these have an inheritance and presentation pattern that depends on the sex of both the parent and the child.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dominance article was read about 77,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
