Recessive
A weak trait that is masked by a stronger trait is often referred to as a "shadow trait" or a "secondary trait". These traits may not be immediately apparent due to the dominance of the stronger trait.
The weaker trait is called the recessive trait The stronger one is called the dominant trait
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
dominant
A trait that masks another trait is epistatic...the masked trait is hypostatic.
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.
Heterozygous dominant. Could also be called a masked trait.
The trait that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is known as a recessive trait. It is masked by the dominant trait in individuals carrying both alleles.
A recessive trait is one that is not expressed when paired with a dominant trait. It may only be visually evident when both copies of the gene carry the recessive form.
recessive
The type of trait that can be masked is known as a recessive trait. In genetics, recessive traits require two copies of the recessive allele (one from each parent) to be expressed phenotypically, while a dominant allele can overshadow or mask the expression of the recessive allele. As a result, individuals with one dominant and one recessive allele will display the dominant trait, concealing the presence of the recessive trait.
NO, the traits do not disappear they are simply "masked". According to Mendelian theory there are DOMINANT (A) and RECESSIVE (a) traits. When Aa is present the recessive trait is masked therefore it does not show up. These are called alleles.
