A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.

When an allele mask the presence of another allele it is said to be?
Dominent. Simple- you have two types of Alleles, Dominent and Reccessive. Imagine a punnet square for the allele that causes albinoism (A). One parent has Aa, or one dominent allele and one reccessive allele for the trait. If the dominent skin-tone gene wasn't there (A), then it would be AA and he would be an albino. But since he has a dominent allele, he has normal color. If he made a baby with another Aa combination, they would have 25% chance of having an AA baby with no reccessive allele, a 50% chance of having an identical Aa combination, and a 25% chance of having an albino baby, AA.
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a dominent or recessive gene?
It is caused by a recessive allele. Believe me my teacher told me.
Why are genes called dominent?
Each gene has two alleles. When an allele is dominant, it will express the phenotype of that allele. Recessive alleles are only expressed when there are two copies of that allele. Edited answer: Only those genes are called dominant which show their phenotypic expression in an individual.
