(In genetic terms, a recessive trait is one that is phenotypically expressed only in homozygotes).Examples of dominant disorders include: 1  Achondroplasia (a common form of dwarfism with short arms and legs),In genetic terms, a dominant trait is one that is phenotypically expressed in heterozygotes).
