Question

8. List three difference between dominant trait and Recessive trait. (3m)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Dominant traits are always expressed when the connected allele is dominant, even if only one copy of the dominant trait exists.

Recessive traits are expressed only if both the connected alleles are recessive.

For example, having a straight hairline is recessive, while having a widow's peak (a V-shaped hairline near the forehead) is dominant. Cleft chin, dimples, and freckles are similar examples; individuals with recessive alleles for a cleft chin, dimples, or freckles do not have these traits.

Answer 2

Answer:

Dominant traits are always expressed when the connected allele is dominant,

even if only one copy of the dominant trait exists. Recessive traits are

expressed only if both the connected alleles are recessive.
