Dominant trait is the one which is expressed when the homologous pair of genes controlling it are either homozygous or Hetrozygous dominant; on the other hand recessive trait has both genes to be homozygous recessive. in fact trait is controlled by the form of genes. Dominant gene expresses even when it is in the company of recessive gene. However recessive gene expresses only when in company of recessive gene

Such as eyes, the brown is more dominant and blue is recessive.

What are the different forms of a gene either dominant or recessive?
heterozygous, homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive
How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?
They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous allele
What is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?
Homozygous recessive: is when the genes are both recessive Homozygous dominant: is when the genes are both dominant (traits show) Heterozygous dominant: is when one gene is dominant and one is recessive (traits show) Heterozygous recessive: is the same as heterozygous dominant but the dominant genes are inactive
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, they are different. A recessive allele gets its name because when in the presence of a dominant allele, it will "recede" and not show, hence the name for the dominant allele.
What is dominant recessive?
There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).
What are the different forms of a gene either dominant or recessive?
heterozygous, homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive
Is the difference between a dominant and recessive allele?
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
What is the relation between dominant and recessive alleles?
the dominant trait is the stronger one and the recessive trait is the weaker one
How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?
They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous allele
What makes a dominant allele different from recessive Allie?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
What makes a dominant alleles different from a recessive alleles?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
What is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?
Homozygous recessive: is when the genes are both recessive Homozygous dominant: is when the genes are both dominant (traits show) Heterozygous dominant: is when one gene is dominant and one is recessive (traits show) Heterozygous recessive: is the same as heterozygous dominant but the dominant genes are inactive
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, they are different. A recessive allele gets its name because when in the presence of a dominant allele, it will "recede" and not show, hence the name for the dominant allele.
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 makes a dominant allel different from?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
How Dominant allele different from recessive allele?
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.
