Answer 1

The correct response is:

Dominant traits only show if one of the alleles is dominant.

Additionally, recessive traits only show if both alleles are recessive.

This means that a dominant trait can be expressed with just one dominant allele present, while a recessive trait needs both alleles to be recessive to be expressed.
