Recessive Trait
A recessive trait seems to disappear.
Dominant is an allele that will always be expressed in a heterozygous individual. Recessive on other hand are traits that will only be expressed in a homozygous condition. Organisms receive one allele for each trait from each parent, thus you have two alleles for each trait.
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.

If the white trait is dominant, then yes. If the white trait is recessive, then no.

Recessive
The trait that is being masked is recessive, and the trait that is doing the masking is dominant.

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.
RECESSIVE trait
Since the F1 generation of crosses is a cross between two pure traits (for example, TT for tall and tt for short/dwarfness), the offspring of the pure parents all have the genotype of Tt: 100% of offspring will be tall. The dwarfness seems to "disappear" because the capital T is dominant, while the lowercase t (for shortness) is recessive. Dominant dominates a recessive trait, so only tallness appears and dwarfness seems to disappear. Additional Info: However, even though the dwarfness seems to "disappear" it is still in the genotype although it does not appear in the F1 generation. In the F2 generation, there will be a 25% chance of the offspring having the trait dwarfness, because the F1 generation is crossed (Tt x Tt).
