Traits and Phenotypes

Traits are characters that are passed from one generation to other and this is called inheritance . Traits exist in forms that are passed further called alleles. The alleles are of 2 types:

1. dominant alleles - they are the one which express themselves.
2. recessive alleles - they are the ones which do not express in presence of dominant once. The phenotype depends on the on the dominant genes as recessive genes do not express unless both pairs are recessive (as genes are in pairs).

Traits and Phenotypes

Traits are physical features of an organism such as height or eye color. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of your traits.
