How to use "Recessive" in context?
There are many types of male and female individuals. Some people are considered to be more "recessive" than others, meaning they are more likely to have one or more recessive traits. People with recessive traits are born with them and can't help the way they are.
Most people with recessive traits don't know they have them. They usually only find out when they have a child with the same recessive trait. If one parent has the recessive trait, the child has a 25% chance of having the trait.
