Answer 1

The recessive gene is one that expresses itself in homozygous condition.

Explanation:

A recessive gene (allele) expresses its trait only in the homozygous condition, when both alleles are recessive (e.g., tt). In the heterozygous condition (Tt), the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele.
