Dominant vs Recessive phenotype

Dominant and recessive traits describe how likely it is for a person or other sexually reproductive animal is to receive or pass on certain traits.Anything from eye color to foot size can be inherited from parents, but what you do end up inheriting depends on the parents genes The dominant and recessive phenotypes are the physical, observable traits. For example, the girl to the far left of this photo shows a mix of dominant and recessive traits, she has light eyes (recessive) and naturally dark hair (dominant). While the girl to the far right has mostly recessive traits with light hair and light eyes, the guy in the middle shows mostly dominant trait with dark hair and eyes.
