|
Dominant
|
|
|
Heterozygous
|
|
|
Recessive
|
|

Hidden

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Dominant trait refers to a genetic feature that “hides” the recessive trait in the phenotype of an individual. The term “recessive” describes a trait that is covered over (or dominated) by another form of that trait and seems to disappear.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dominant traits and alleles. Dominant refers to the inheritance of traits that are typically passed vertically from parent to child where both the parent and the child are affected by the trait or disorder that is related to that gene.
