∙ 11y agoDominant alleles are expressed regardless of any other alleles. Recessive alleles are not expressed if a dominant allele is present.
Dominant alleles are written with capital letters (eg. B or T), recessive with lower case letters (eg. b or t).
Dominant - if B codes for black fur - BB and Bb will both end up with black fur.
Recessive - if b codes for white fur, only bb will result in white fur.

∙ 6y agoThe difference between a dominant allele and a recessive allele is that if a person inherits one dominant allele and one recessive allele the dominant allele will appear as it is stronger or more dominant than a recessive allele the dominant allele is stronger the recessive allele weaker. For instance brown eyes is a dominant allele, blue eyes is a recessive allele.
A recessive allele does not always determine the trait.

What is the difference between a herezygous and a homozygous?
"Heterozygous" and "homozygous" are terms that refer to alleles, which, in genetics determine what trait, from which parent, will appear in the offspring. Alleles can be either Dominant or Recessive. Every organism has two alleles, which can both be dominant, both recessive, or one of each.So,If an organism heterozygous, it has one recessive and one dominant allele.If an organism is homozygous then both of its alleles are the same; you need to specify if they are homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive) or homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant).
What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles on the basis of DNA?
Dominant alleles override recessive alleles. For instance, if there is both a dominant allele and a recessive allele present the dominant allele will be the trait that you end up with. If you have two recessive alleles, then you will have the recessive trait. :::::::::::::::brown eyes overrided blue eyes, because they are darker:::::::::::::::::: usually a darker color overpowered/override the lighter ones....i dont really know why but my science teacher said so......
Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.
Why are recessive alleles not always expressed as the phenotype?
recessive alleles get masked to show the difference in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.

What is the relation between dominant and recessive alleles?
the dominant trait is the stronger one and the recessive trait is the weaker one
What is the difference between the dominant and recessive allele for a trait?
An individual must have 2 recessive alleles in order for a trait to show up. One must only have 1 dominant allele in order for a trait to occur.

What is the interaction between dominant and recessive alleles?
This inter action is called dominance .
What is the difference between dominant and recessive gene?
There are no such things as dominant and recessive genes. There are only dominant and recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are parts of a gene that present its features over the recessive allele, which is the one that is always masked by the dominant allele. The recessive allele's trait only shows if both of the alleles in a trait are recessive.
What is the difference between heterozygous and homozygous alleles?
You're looking at a gene which contains 2 alleles (meaning variations of that gene). Let's call it "A."Remember that you get 2 copies of EACH gene (one from mom, one from dad).
Differences between dominant and recessive?
Dominant is stronger than recessive. So you can only have the phenotype ( visual characteristic ) of a recessive allele if you have 2 recessive alleles in your DNA , and other combination the dominant allele would be predominant

What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
