Question

Explain dominant and recessive traits and be able to identify a dominant trait versus a recessive trait using given data

Answer 1

Dominant traits, usually marked with a Capital letter, is the characteristic given by the parents to their offspring that are most likely to show in their physical appearance. A recessive trait, made with a lower case letter, only will show in the offspring if both letters are lowercased. For example, Curley Hair = F dominant trait

Straight Hair = f Recessive trait

The only way for the offspring to have straight hair is if the allele combination is ff. If the allele combination is Ff or FF, then the offspring will have curly hair.
