Hidden Traits: True or False Question

[Troubadoura Resident]

Everytime I think I have this down, I realize that i'm not sure.

Is the following statement correct -----

The hidden traits in a cat will always be less dominant than the trait showing.

That is true.

[Serena Stroikavskoi]

That is true, but the statement should in fact be:

The hidden trait will be equal to or less dominant than the shown trait.

**sometimes the hidden and shown are the same

The hidden trait will always be the same or more recessive.

As Sanura mentioned- The term Recessive is used instead of "less Dominate" but they mean the same thing.

I tend to think of more or less recessive for some reason but yes they mean the same thing just different angles LOL
