Answer:

A dominant allele is a variation of a gene that will produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles. A dominant allele typically encodes for a functioning protein. ... When a dominant allele is completely dominant over another allele, the other allele is known as recessive.

A recessive allele is a variety of genetic code that does not create a phenotype if a dominant allele is present. ... A heterozygous individual will appear the same as a homozygous dominant individual. This means that an organisms with two dominant alleles appear the same as an organism with only one functioning allele.
