Is adrenoleukodystrophy dominant or recessive?
This disease results from a mutation on the x-chromosome. It's recessive considering that a dominant will only cover up things that have occur, for example the damage that has occured, with something else. A recessive will continue to give latent traits. The allele in Adrenoleukodystrophy can only be caused by heredity mutation thus making it recessive.
What type of allele masks the expression of the recessive allele?
Two recessive alleles can not take over a dominant allele because there are only two alleles in a pair. This can only happen if there is a mutation because the dominant always takes over the recessive.
Is it true that a defective allele always recessive and a normal allele always dominant?
No. The gene that causes Huntington's is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, and one form of inherited Parkinson's is also caused by an autosomal dominant mutation.
