  4. One characteristic was dominant and the other was recessive in each contrasted character.
  5. The characteristic of tallness, for example, predominates over the trait of dwarfism.
  6. The dominant allele controls the dominant characteristic of any character.
  7. When a dominant allele is present, no recessive allele can function.
