How does dominant-recessive inheritance work? Apply this to a specific example of dominant-recessive inheritance.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:

2. Recessive alleles are expressed only when a child receives one recessive allele from each parent.
3. The text gives several examples of dominant-recessive inheritance patterns, including tongue rolling, dimpled cheeks, Huntington's disease, and PKU.
