Detailed explanation-1: -A dominant trait is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. A recessive trait is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dominant refers to the relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive two versions of each gene, known as alleles, from each parent. If the alleles of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed; it is the dominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the difference between dominant and recessive traits? 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dominant and recessive genes. 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-5: -The law of dominance states that one of the pairs of inherited traits will be dominant and the others recessive unless both the factors are recessive.
