Dominant alleles are those that express their traits even when only one copy is present, while recessive alleles require two copies to manifest their traits. In a heterozygous individual (one dominant and one recessive allele), the dominant allele will mask the effect of the recessive allele. This relationship is fundamental in genetics, influencing inheritance patterns and phenotypic traits in organisms.
No, codominance is a genetic relationship between two versions of a gene where both versions are expressed in the phenotype. In contrast, recessive traits are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
No, a defective allele is not always recessive, and a normal allele is not always dominant. The relationship between alleles can be more complex and dependent on specific genetic mechanisms. Dominance and recessiveness are general terms used to describe the relationship between two alleles at a specific gene locus.

the dominant trait is the stronger one and the recessive trait is the weaker one

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
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
Some observable traits in humans are dimples, earlobes, tongue-rolling, cleft chin, hairline, and freckles. The relationship between the frequency of a trait in a population and whether the trait is dominant or recessive because in inherited human traits, the offspring can either have dimples or no dimples.

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
