Recessive: relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes which are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents.

Dominant: Refers to a trait that appears more frequently than another trait, resulting from interactions between gene alleles.

Explanation:

Genotype and phenotype differences

GenotypePhenotype

The hereditary information of the organism in the form of gene in the DNA and remains the same throughout the life.The characters of an organism which are visible are known as phenotypes.

Same genotype produces same phenotype.Same phenotype may or may not belong to same genotype.

Present inside the body as genetic material.Expression of genes as the external appearence.

The genotype is inherited from the parent to the offspring.The phenotype is not inherited from the parent.

It can be determined by scientific methods such as the polymerase chain reaction.It can be determined by observing the organism.

It is affected by genes.It is affected by genotype and environmental conditions.

For eg., Blood group, eye colour, height, genetic diseases.For eg., Weight, physique, beak of birds
