An allele whose characteristic phenotype is masked by the presence of a second allele is called recessive when used in reference to that second allele.

Which one does not belong Phenotype - genotype - allele?
Phenotype. Allele and genotype both describe genes wheras phenotype describes outward appearance.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
Whats the phenotype of a stronger allele?
The allele which have dominant genes or whose genes can express themselves in presence or its corresponding gene in F1 expressions is the strongest of two, allthough no whole allele is strongest but its part of gene which carry that ability
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
The dominant allele.
What is contributing allele?
A contributing allele is a dominant allele which adds to the phenotype (the characteristics or traits of an organism).
When allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form can be seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
When one allele of a gene masks the presence of the allele what form can be seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
When one allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form can seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
What one allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form can be seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
What describes an allele whose characteristic phenotype is masked by the presence of a different allele?
recessive
What describes allele whose characteristic phenotype is masked by the presence of a second different allele?
Recessive
What describes an allele whose characteristics phenotype is masked by the presence of a second different allele?
Recessive
What is the general term for an allele that masked in the phenotype by the present of another allele?
Recessive. It is denoted by the lower case version of the first letter of the Dominant gene. For example, if the dominant is "A" then the allele is "a".
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
Is phenotype another name for allele?
Yes and no. Allele is a variation of a specific gene while phenotype can refer to variation of multiple genes or even the entire genome.
Which one does not belong Phenotype - genotype - allele?
Phenotype. Allele and genotype both describe genes wheras phenotype describes outward appearance.
Is Aa and AA a dominant phenotype?
Yes, both Aa and AA genotypes represent the dominant phenotype for a specific trait. The presence of at least one dominant allele (A) will result in the dominant phenotype being expressed.
