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. |

Assertion (A): In humans, if gene (B) is responsible for black eyes and gene (b) responsible for brown eyes, then the colour of eyes of the progeny having gene combination Bb, bb or BB will be black only.
Reason (R): The black colour of the eyes is a dominant trait.
