Gene with recessive traits is comparatively less likely to be inherited. Inheritance Gene with dominant traits is much more likely to be inherited. The recessive trait does require the presence of the same trait in the other gene to be inherited.

Requirement The dominant trait does not require the presence of the same trait in the other gene too. Round eyes, left-handedness, straight hairline, the blonde or red color of hair, etc. Examples v-shaped hairline, dark hair color, brown eye color, right-handedness, etc. Recessive traits are represented by small letters. Representation The dominant allele is represented with block letters everywhere. Traits of recessiveness are expressed when the traits are the same with both of the alleles too. Comparison Table Between Dominant and Recessive Traits Parameters of comparison Dominant Trait Recessive Trait Expression Traits of dominance are expressed when the traits of the allele are also dominant. Like one of them is recessive, and the other one is dominant, there are chances that the result is going to be manifested.

If one of them has recessive genes, possibilities are higher that the offspring wouldnвЂ™t get the same genes. These traits are expressed or received only in the case when both of the alleles are recessive. Recessive traits are basically the opposite of dominant traits in all senses. That dominant allele is generally denoted by block letters. This also can happen even if there is only one single copy of it exists. They are often expressed when the connected allele to it is dominant itself. Dominant traits are basically those which occur in a person when they receive the dominant genes as offspring from the parent.
