Simple recessive inheritance is a type of genetic inheritance in which an individual must inherit two copies of a recessive allele in order to display a particular trait or disease. This means that even if an individual inherits one copy of the recessive allele and one copy of the dominant allele, they will not exhibit the trait or disease associated with the recessive allele. In simple recessive inheritance, individuals who carry one copy of the recessive allele are called carriers, as they do not show any symptoms of the trait or disease but can pass the recessive allele on to their offspring.
