However pumpkin speaking they tell me the females have dominance over genetic transference, and that works for me.....lol

Geneticly speaking both the male and female contribute equally to the genetic makeup of the resulting seed!

There is no gender bias when it comes to dominance and recessivness. However, females have the upper hand when it comes to whose DNA you have more of! Mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited, as is chloroplastal DNA.
