Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:

Phenotype is the physical appearance of any living organisms, it can be either dominant or recessive. 

Dominant phenotype has much more expression than recessive phenotype. Dominant can be achieved by the presence of one of the alleles but for the expression of recessive phenotype both of the alleles should be present in progeny.
