Detailed explanation-1: -Alleles produce phenotypes (or physical versions of a trait) that are either dominant or recessive. The dominance or recessivity associated with a particular allele is the result of masking, by which a dominant phenotype hides a recessive phenotype.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dominant traits are those traits which are expressed even in the presence of one copy of an allele for a particular trait in the gene. However, recessive traits are those that are expressed only when two copies of an allele are present in the gene.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common interaction between alleles is a dominant/recessive relationship. An allele of a gene is said to be dominant when it effectively overrules the other (recessive) allele. Eye colour and blood groups are both examples of dominant/recessive gene relationships.

Detailed explanation-4: -Codominance Definition Codominance is a form of inheritance wherein the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed. As a result, the phenotype of the offspring is a combination of the phenotype of the parents. Thus, the trait is neither dominant nor recessive.
