How do dominant alleles recessive alleles differs?

Dominant alleles are the ones that show up in the phenotype. Recessive alleles do not unless both alleles are recessive, but can be passed on. For example: Tt , T=tall and t=short. Tall is dominant and short is recessive. You are tall and can pass on the short gene. Or, you can use black hair being dominant over red. Or, brown eyes being dominant over blue. Dominant can be seen on you and recessive can't.
