dominant characters

Answer 2

In heterozygous individuals or hybrids, out of the two factors or alleles representing the alternate traits of a character, one is dominant and expresses itself in the hybrid or $F_1$ generation. The other factor or allele is recessive and does not show its effect in the heterozygous individual (Principle of dominance).
