Answer:

because one of the organisms is heterozygous.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an organism is heterozygous it carries both a dominant and a recessive allele therefore two organisms that are dominant for a specific trait can produce an organism with a recessive trait because one of those two organisms is heterozygous.
