Explanation:

A phrase is a group of words that express a concept and is used as a unit within a sentence. Eight common types of phrases are: noun, verb, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional, and absolute

A clause is any noun phrase plus a verb; they can be sentences, but they don't always have to be.

Example: He is sleeping on the bed. The first part of the sentence “He is sleeping” is a clause because it has a subject and a verb. On the other hand, the remaining part of sentence, 'on the bed' is a phrase because it lacks both the subject and the verb.

What about dormant and recessive synonyms or antonyms or neither

Neither. Dormant and recessive are not synonyms because their definitions are not similar, nor are they antonyms because they aren't opposites, either. Dormant means to sleep. Recessive refers to a trait that is usually masked by a dominant trait.
