Genes control the inheritance of traits. Some genes are dominant and some are recessive. Some are neither dominant nor recessive, such as the genes that control flower color in a certain species of plant. In this species, a plant with red flowers inherits two genes for
red (RR), a plant with white flowers inherits two genes for white (ww), and a plant with pink flowers inherits one gene for red and one
gene for white (RW).
