dominant gene.
false
Mendel's law of dominance states that if you have a pair of genes then the one that shows up in the offspring is most likely the dominant gene because the dominant is passed along more often than the recessive.
Mendel's Law - The first law of Mendel states that "In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation. Offspring that are hybrid for a trait will have only the dominant trait in the phenotype."
The dominant trait masks the recessive trait.
A dominant trait masks another form of a trait, also known as the recessive trait.
true breeding
Only when both genes in the pair are homozygous recessive, the expression will be masked, otherwise, if only one gene of the allelic pair is recessive and the other one is dominant, the expression of dominant gene will be apparent.
- Some "alleles" (hereditary traits) are dominant, and others are recessive. - If a pure dominant trait is bred with a recessive trait, their offspring will show 75% presence of the dominant trait, and 25% presence of the recessive trait in the F1 (first filial) generation. - If a plant with a dominant trait from the F1 generation (carrier, heterozygous dominant) is bred with a plant that shows a recessive trait, their offspring will display at 50/50 probability of dominance versus recessiveness. Thus, alleles expressing a particular trait via dominance/recessiveness, in the case of the pea plants, take the form of two alleles that combine to express a particular version. This later has been shown to be homozygous dominance/recessiveness, or heterozygous dominance.

Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
false
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
I think you're talking about genetic mutation... If the trait is dominant then it will be spread to its offspring and if it doesn't hinder the offspring's survival then the trait will continue to be passed on to new generations.

Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.
