The character that expresses itself in the presence of the contrasting characters

The character that expresses itself in the presence of the contrasting characters is called the dominant trait. This means that if an organism inherits one copy of the dominant allele, it will show that trait, even if it also inherits a different, contrasting allele from the other parent. The recessive trait, on the other hand, only expresses itself when an organism inherits two copies of the recessive allele. The term "hybrid" refers to an organism that has two different alleles for a particular trait. So, in summary, the dominant trait is the one that dominates over the recessive trait in terms of expression, and a hybrid organism has two different alleles for the same trait.
