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.

What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
What is an allele that is masked by the dominant allele?
recessive?
What type of allele is masked when a dominant allele is present?
The recessive allele is masked when a dominant allele is present. Dominant alleles are expressed over recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals.
The weaker of two alleles in a pair that is often masked by the dominant allele?
The recessive allele.
What is a dominant allele what is a recessive allele?
An allele that hide the effect of other allele is called dominant.Allele that is masked is called recessive .
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
In a heterozygote the allele that does not affect the trait?
The allele that does not affect the trait in a heterozygote is known as the recessive allele. This allele is masked by the dominant allele, which determines the observable trait. However, the recessive allele can still be passed on to offspring if both parents are carriers.
When one allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked.?
recessive A+
When one of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
What describes an allele whose characteristic phenotype is masked by the presence of a different allele?
recessive
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
What describes allele whose characteristic phenotype is masked by the presence of a second different allele?
