The genes are said to be dominant or recessive, depending on their mode of expression. A dominant gene is a hereditary characteristic that expresses itself in being present on only one of the chromosomes of a pair. A recessive gene is a hereditary characteristic that must be present on both chromosomes of a pair to be expressed.
