Dominant trait due to doominant gene (as against recessive trait)
Dominant Traits
dominant
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called Recessive traits. - Nikkkki
Yes.
recessive traits

As traits are dispensed to the offspring they can be either dominant or recessive. A recessive trait is only expressed when two identical alleles exist.
Meiosis produces the genetic material that will be paired with the genetic material of the partner. This will determine the traits the baby inherits.
Recessive traits can be hidden if the organism inherits one dominant and one recessive allele (i.e. is heterozygous) for a gene. If a heterozygous organism mates with another heterozygous organism for the same trait, the recessive trait may be expressed in their offspring, which would mean that the offspring inherited two recessive alleles, one from each parent.
Simple inherited traits are passed down because each parent contains genes which are given to their offspring. The offspring inherits or receives these traits. The offspring then passes down those traits to their offspring. Each time there is a new generation, the original trait becomes less evident. The recessive traits decrease by a certain percent every time a new set of genes are added.
Heterogeneous is when offspring inherits mixed genes from both parents.
Genes in DNA code for the production of proteins, which cause traits to be expressed.
