Here's a simple explanation:

* Dominant traits are like strong personalities – they show up even if you only have one copy of the gene.

* Recessive traits are like shy personalities – they only show up if you have two copies of the gene.

Example:

* Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes.

* If you inherit one gene for brown eyes and one for blue eyes, you'll have brown eyes because the brown eye gene is dominant.

* To have blue eyes, you need to inherit two copies of the blue eye gene.
