When an offspring inherits a dominant gene from one parent and a recessive gene from the other, the dominant trait will typically be expressed in the offspring. This occurs because dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles. For example, if the dominant gene is for brown eyes (B) and the recessive gene is for blue eyes (b), the offspring will have brown eyes (Bb) as the dominant trait prevails.
