i think the answer your lokking for is recessive
Recessive is when you have a trait in your genome but it doesn't show in your physical appearance

∙ 12y agoIn regards to Mendelian genetics and phenotypes, it would be the recessive gene.

∙ 14y agoAn allele that is hidden by another allele is called a recessive allele. The recessive allele is still present but hidden by the dominant allele.

Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
What is codominace mean?
Codominance is a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele usually will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.
What results when one allele is not dominant over the other?
If one allele is not dominant over the other it would mean the alleles are the same so that organism would be a mutant.
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
The dominant allele.
These alleles show their effect on the phenotype whenever they are present in the genotype?
Dominant alleles carry traits or characteristics that will show no matter what. Recessive alleles carry traits where you must be homozygous for the recessive trait in order for it to show. Dominant alleles are represented by capital letters (EX: R or M) Recessive alleles are represented by lower case letters (EX: r or m) In order for a dominant allele to show, you can have either RR or Rr, since it is dominant. However, in order for a recessive allele to show, you MUST have rr. Hope this helps!
What is hidden in the heterozyotes?
Heterozygotes have two different alleles for a particular gene, where one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. The recessive allele is "hidden" in heterozygotes because it is not expressed phenotypically but can be passed on to offspring.
What is it called when neither copy of an allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen?
i think its codominance

When the alleles of a gene pair are expressed differently but neither is dominant to the other?
Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed.
What does the principle of dominance state?
Basically, it states there are two forms of a gene called alleles, heterozygous in this case, and one allele masks the expression of the other allele. This is simplified, as it can get complex with co-dominance and partial dominance.
What is codominace mean?
Codominance is a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele usually will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.
When phenotype of both homozygous are produced in the heterozygote they are called?
Codominance is what it is called. That is when neither allele is completely dominant over the other.
When one allele shows dominance over another allele?
When one allele shows dominance over another it is masking the expression of the other allele which is called "recessive".The word for this is complete dominance.
What contrasting alleles may in some cases result in a case where neither allele is dominant over the other?
If both alleles are recessive, then you will haev a case where contrasting alleles that do not have dominance. Neither allele has the power to be dominant so they will both have equal power of genetics.
What is when of allele is the number of times that the allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of times other alleles occur?

What results when one allele is not dominant over the other?
If one allele is not dominant over the other it would mean the alleles are the same so that organism would be a mutant.
What is meaning of alleles?
An allele is the different forms of a gene. For example the gene for eye colour has the alleles; brown, blue, green etc. In every person there are two alleles for every gene but both alleles are not always the same. They can be dominant and recessive; dominant alleles are expressed no matter what other allele is present, recessive alleles require both alleles to be the recessive one to be expressed. E.g. say B is the allele for brown eyes and b is the allele for blue eyes. Brown is dominant therefore if someone had Bb or BB they'd have brown eyes and if they had bb their eyes would be blue.
