Definitions:

Dominant Gene

A gene that expresses its phenotypic trait even when heterozygous with a recessive gene.

Recessive Gene

A gene that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its allele is identical and not masked by a dominant gene in the pair.

Heterozygous

A genetic condition in which an individual has two different alleles of a gene, one inherited from each parent, contributing to genetic diversity.

Hereditary Transmission

The process by which genetic information is passed from parents to their offspring, determining inherited traits.
