Dominant vs. Recessive Phenotype

This is a picture of my family, my niece and my sister. My niece (left) has blue eyes and blonde hair, which represents the recessive phenotypes. While my sister (right) has brown eyes and brown hair, which represents the dominant phenotypes. A phenotype are all of the observable and physical characteristics of an organism. Dominant phenotypes appear more often then recessive. Blonde hair and blue eyes, like my niece, are rare compared to my sister's brown eyes and brown hair. I have brown eyes and blonde hair, so i have both recessive and dominant phenotypes.
