The main difference between dominant and recessive genes is that dominant genes get phenotypically exerted faster compared to genes that are being recessively transfered. These genes must have to be presented 2x more often (both alleles have to be recessive) for them to be exerted phenotypically.
<u>Sample Response:</u> As the name suggests, the traits controlled by dominant genes are more likely to appear in our children. Recessive genes will only have an effect when the corresponding dominant gene isn't present.
