Question
what is the relationship between a dominant and recessive trait? there is no relationship between dominant and recessive traits. dominant and recessive traits blend together to form new traits. a recessive trait is expressed over a dominant trait. a dominant trait is expressed over a recessive trait.
In genetics, a dominant trait masks the expression of a recessive trait. When an organism has both a dominant and a recessive allele for a particular gene, the dominant allele's trait is what is visible. It's not that there's no relationship (as traits are related through inheritance patterns), they don't blend (that's a different concept like incomplete dominance), and recessive traits are not expressed over dominant ones.
