are recessive genes weaker than dominant genes
1.An individual receives two copies of each trait that he inherits from his parents, one from the mother and one from the father, with one of them dominant and the other recessive. 2.A dominant gene is one which is strong while a recessive gene is one which is weak. 3.A dominant gene will show up in the trait while a recessive gene, although still present, is masked or hidden by the dominant gene. 4.A recessive gene will only show up if the offspring inherits recessive genes from both parents.
