A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:
a chromosome |
|
a recessive trait |
|
a gene |
|
a dominant trait |
The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive. A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
