It depends on what your trait is. Let's say that your trait was tongue roller. Rolling your tongue is dominant over non-tongue rollers so we would use R for Rolling your tongue. For the recessive trait, non-tongue roller, we use the same letter as the dominant trait except it is lowercase. So non-tongue roller would be r.
The recessive trait isn't present when the dominant form of the trait is there. Whenever a trait is dominant trait is present it ALWAYS takes over the recessive one. the law of Dominance
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
Recessive trait
The trait that is masked is recessive. The trait that does the masking is dominant.
The dominant trait masks the recessive trait.
If the gene is governed by a dominant and recessive allele, then if the dominant allele is present, the dominant trait will be expressed. If both alleles are recessive, then the recessive trait will be expressed.
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
Dominant- Covers up another form of a trait. Recessive- Is covered up by a dominant trait.
An organism with a recessive allele from a particular form of a trait will exhibit that form only when the dominant allele for the trait is not present.
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
The trait that is being masked is recessive, and the trait that is doing the masking is dominant.
