Capital letter (recessive is lowercase)
The dominant form of the trait shows. -Gradpoint
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
its different because adominant allele is in charge
In simple Mendelian genetics, there may be several alleles (variations) for a given trait. since organisms generally have two pairs of chromosomes, they have two alleles. A dominant allele is one that when it is present, always shows itself. A recessive allele only shows when there are two copies of the recessive allele. For example, suppose brown hair is dominant and black hair is recessive. If there are any copies of the brown hair allele, the person's hair will be brown. A person's hair will be black only if they have two copies of the black hair allele. In reality, genetics is much more complicated than simply dominant and recessive as many genes may influence one trait.

A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two 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.
Homozygous is the term used to describe an organism with two allele pairs that are identical, in reference to dominant characteristic traitÊin heredity.
genotypes
A dominant allele is an allele where its phenotype will always be represented when the allele for that gene is present. A recessive allele can be masked by a dominant allele when a dominant and recessive allele are present for the same gene. A recessive allele will only present itself when two recessive alleles for a trait are present.
well all genes comes in pair one is dominant and other is recessive but gametes do not come in pair as only one can come from the parent.
