because it dominates the phenotype
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
A dominant type is called "dominant" because it expresses its traits or characteristics overtly, effectively masking the effects of any recessive types present. In genetics, a dominant allele will produce a phenotype even when only one copy is present, giving it a prevailing influence over the trait. This term reflects the allele's ability to dominate the expression of a trait in an organism's appearance or function.
The recessive allele.
No! they are different
Dominant traits are expressed over recessive traits because the dominant allele codes for a functional protein that masks the effects of the recessive allele. In a heterozygous individual carrying one dominant and one recessive allele, the dominant allele is expressed, leading to the dominant trait being observed.

The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
Having a dominant and recessive allele is known as Mendelian inheritance, named after Gregor Mendel, the scientist who first described it. In this type of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).

The genotype is said to be heterozygous and the dominant trait will be expressed in the individual.
When the allele that codes for the dominant trait is expressed in the genome.
A dominant allele is one that will always be expressed when present.
The recessive allele.
A genotype in which there are both a dominant and a recessive allele is called heterozygous.
Straight hair is typically controlled by a dominant allele. Curly hair is usually controlled by a recessive allele.
