Answer 1

Answer:

Dominant gene --- Those genes which are able to express the traits carried by them in homozygous as well as in heterozygous condition are known as dominant genes. For eg: Tallness of pea plant

Recessive gene ---- A recessive gene is a gene whose effects are masked in the presence of a dominant gene. Every organism that has DNA packed into chromosomes has two alleles, or forms of a gene, for each gene: one inherited from their mother, and one inherited from their father

Heredity ---- Heredity is a phenomenon of transfer of characters from parents to offspring
