Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Offspring receive genes from both parents, they don't always have a recessive or dominant train but if they do have a dominant trait, it will always show while the recessive will only show if there is no dominant trait. For example: DD, Dr, and rr (D= dominant r = recessive)
