Heterozygous alleles of a particular gene are nonidentical. The key difference between dominant and recessive alleles is that dominant alleles are the alleles that give the phenotype, masking over the other phenotype, while recessive alleles are the alleles that are suppressed by the dominant allele usually, a chromosome contains a number of genes, and they exist in specific places.
