What is the difference between dominate traits and recessive traits
Dominant traits are traits that will be expressed or observed in an organism even if only one copy of the gene for that trait is present. In other words, dominant traits overpower or dominate recessive traits. For example, if an organism inherits a dominant allele for brown eyes from one parent and a recessive allele for blue eyes from the other parent, the organism will have brown eyes.
On the other hand, recessive traits are traits that will only be expressed or observed in an organism if both copies of the gene for that trait are present. In this case, if an organism inherits two copies of the recessive allele for blue eyes, it will have blue eyes. However, if it inherits one dominant allele for brown eyes and one recessive allele for blue eyes, the dominant trait (brown eyes) will be expressed, and the recessive trait (blue eyes) will not be observed.
Dominance and recessiveness of traits are determined by how genes interact and are inherited, and understanding these concepts is essential in the study of genetics.
