If an allele is masked, it is most likely recessive, but not necessarily. This is due to epistasis, the interaction between two or more genes to control a single phenotype. For example, "K" codes for more keratin pigment in the skin, but "k" does not. One can still be albino, however, for if they get the dominant "A" allele, this allelle will override and mask the dominant "K" pigment in the skin, making the person albino.
