Question

What is the difference between a dominant and recessive trait?

Answer 1

When a dominant trait is present it will always show. For example long tails are dominant. (Ll and LL will both result in long tails). For recessive traits you need two of them for the trait to show. For example short tails are recessive. (You HAVE to get ll for the short tail trait to show in the offspring.
