Question
Differentiate between the following:
Dominance and Recessive
Advertisements
Solution
| Sr. No. | Dominance | Recessive |
| 1. | The dominant allele may reveal itself even in the presence of the recessive gene. | A recessive allele or factor cannot express its effect in the presence of a dominant allele. |
| 2. | It does not require another similar allele to influence the phenotype; for example, Tt is tall. | It has a phenotypic effect solely in the presence of an equivalent allele, such as tt, which is dwarf. |
| 3. | Dominant alleles or factors can create full polypeptides or enzymes that express their effects, such as the red colour of pea flowers. | The recessive allele produces an incomplete or faulty polypeptide or enzyme, resulting in the absence of the effects of the dominant allele, such as a white flower colour in peas. |
