Brainstorm an example of a trait that you (or family member) inherited, and one trait that was not inherited. Explain how dominant and recessive traits may have impacted your genotype and phenotype.

Just think of something you and dad or mom have in common, like for example: You and your mom both have brown hair, or you and you dad have blue eyes.

Remember: Dominate traits are expressed even in the presence of one copy of an allele for a particular trait in the gene.

Remember: Recessive traits are those that are expressed only when two copies of an allele are present in the gene.

I hoped i helped!
