Question

what di you mean by Dominant or recessive traits please explain in simple language

Answer 1

Recessive traits can be carried in a person's genes without appearing in that person. For example, a dark-haired person may have one gene for dark hair, which is a dominant trait, and one gene for light hair, which is recessive.

Dominant traits are those that are expressed or seen when a heterozygous genotype is present. Heterozygous just means having two different alleles for a gene. One is usually dominant while one is recessive. Remember, recessive alleles are masked by dominant alleles.

Answer 2

If both his alleles for eye color are recessive (bb), then he will have blue eyes. Dominant alleles are those which express their trait even when a person has only one copy of the allele. In other words, it is not necessary that a person must possess two dominant alleles to be able to express the trait
