Detailed explanation-1: -The Law of Dominance states: An organism receives two genes for each trait, one from each parent One of the genes may be stronger; the trait of the stronger gene shows up and is called the dominant gene. The trait of the weaker gene is “hidden” or does not show up and is called the recessive gene.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dominant refers to a relationship between two versions of a gene. If one is dominant, the other one must be not dominant. In that case, we call it recessive.
Detailed explanation-3: -A recessive gene is a gene that can be masked by a dominant gene. In order to have a trait that is expressed by a recessive gene, such as blue eyes, you must get the gene for blue eyes from both of your parents.
