प्रश्न
What is meant by dominant genes and recessive genes? Give one example of each.

The gene which decides the appearance of an organism even in the presence of an alternative gene is known as dominant gene. The gene which can decide the appearance of an organism only in the presence of another identical gene is called a recessive gene.
