Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on- (D) whether it shows expression in heterozygous state or not.
- In a heterozygous condition, two different alleles are present on the same gene out of which only one is expressed generally.
- The allele which is expressed in a heterozygous condition is called the dominant allele while the other allele that is not expressed is called a recessive allele.
- For example- in a heterozygous condition Tt, the tall trait (T) is expressed and hence, it is called dominant trait while the short trait (t) is called a recessive trait.
