Solution
A contrasting gene is the type of gene which determines the expression of a trait.
A recessive gene is the type of gene which is not expressed in the presence of a contrasting allele.
For example, The allele for black color skin tone is recessive. Here it is not expressed unless a baby gets black color alleles from both parents, which means if both parents are black colored then only their kid will have a black color tone otherwise this allele does not express itself.
