What is difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?

A recessive trait is a trait that is not shown or expressed physically but is retained within the persons genes, whereas a dominant trait is a trait which opresses the recessive trait and is prodominantly shown or expressed physically. For example it is possible for two red-haired parents, both with recessive dark haired genes, to have a dark haired child. they must both have the recessive gene or the dominant gene of red - hair will be expressed in the child

Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?

A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.


Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?

Recessive traits are not expressed when the dominant form is present. This is because the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition. Only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele will the recessive trait be expressed.
