Dominant is an allele that will always be expressed in a heterozygous individual.
Recessive on other hand are traits that will only be expressed in a homozygous condition.
Organisms receive one allele for each trait from each parent, thus you have two alleles for each trait.
the allele that carry the trait which is expressedin f1 progeny is called dominant allele and the allele which carry trait that is not expressed in f1 progeny is called recessive allele
dominant-appears in first generation
recessive-seems to disappear
A dominant allele will be expressed over a recessive allele if both are present.
For example:
B - black fur (dominant)
b - white fur (recessive)
An individual with Bb will have black fur because this is the dominant allele.
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
Alleles are different types of a gene. Each gene controls a characteristic and they is usually a recessive allele and a dominant one. The main similarity is that they both control a certain characteristic!
heterozygous recessive
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
A 3:1 phenotypic ratio (Mendelian inheritance).
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
"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).
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.

Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
Dominant alleles :-)
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......
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
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.
