In Pea tallness is dominant but in man it is recessive .
Polydactyly is a genetic trait that can mask the presence of the recessive trait for normal digit number in humans. This means that individuals with polydactyly (extra fingers or toes) can carry the recessive allele for normal digit number without expressing it themselves.
You wouldn't see a recessive trait if an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for that trait. In this case, the dominant allele's phenotype will be expressed, masking the recessive trait. The recessive trait would only be visible if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
recessive trait
An organism that is homozygous recessive for a trait carries two copies of the recessive allele for that trait. This means that the individual will express the recessive trait because there is no dominant allele to mask its expression.
bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.

The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.
recessive
It is a recessive trait
tallness is a high trait now wasn't that a quite ok pun? Mr happycool
Pure TraitsPure traits can be either recessive or dominant. Pure traits may have two dominant genes or two recessive genes. For example, a pea plant may have two genes for tallness, which is dominant trait in pea plants. This plant is homozygous plant with a pure dominant trait for tallness. All of the offspring from this plant will be tall. A pea plant with two genes for shortness is also a pure organism. However, shortness in pea plants is a recessive trait. This plant is a homozygous plant with a pure recessive trait for height. The offspring from this plant will be short if it pollinates with another plant that has two genes for shortness. If this plant pollinates with a tall pea plant, the tall dominant gene will mask or cover up the recessive gene for shortness. Both plants are homozygous or pure plants; one is a pure dominant pea plant, the other is a pure recessive pea plant.Hybrid TraitOrganisms that have two unlike genes for a certain trait are called hybrid. A pea plant with one recessive gene for shortness and one dominant gene for tallness is a hybrid for that trait. A hybrid is called heterozygous, as it has two different alleles. The offspring from a pure tall pea plant, cross-pollinated with a pure short pea plant, will result in a heterozygous plant for tallness. No organism has all dominant or all recessive genes. An organism may be pure in certain traits and hybrid others. Remember, that a dominant trait in one kind of organism may be a recessive trait in another organism.
Albinism is a recessive trait.
A recessive trait is a trait that is not dominant, and is not really seen in ones phenotype.
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
You wouldn't see a recessive trait if an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for that trait. In this case, the dominant allele's phenotype will be expressed, masking the recessive trait. The recessive trait would only be visible if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.
