Dominant-Recessive Pattern

A genetic principle where one allele is dominant over another allele for a particular trait, determining the organism's appearance.

Recessive Trait

A genetic feature that is expressed in an individual only when two copies of the gene responsible for the trait are present.

Dominant Gene

A gene that expresses its phenotypic effect even when heterozygous with a recessive gene, thus overriding the expression of the recessive gene.
