CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Recessive traits do not express their effect in the presence of dominant traits.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the case of a recessive trait, the alleles of the trait-causing gene are the same, and both (recessive) alleles must be present to express the trait.

Detailed explanation-3: -A recessive trait is the trait that is not expressed when another allele determines the phenotype, masking its expression. Recessive traits only affect the phenotype of organisms with two recessive alleles. In contrast, dominant traits affect the phenotype of organisms with one or two dominant alleles.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. If one of the alleles is dominant, then the associated characteristic is less likely to manifest.
