Which is expressed a dominant or recessive allele and which is passed on to the offspring?

The dominant allele will always show over the recessive, and both can be passed onto the offspring. To find out exactly which genotypes the children can have you need to make a punnet square!

What is a dominent allele?
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.
What is a trait that needs two factors in order to be expressed?
Actually, it is the recessive.................................................................UR WELCOME! :)
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
I think if an allele "want" to be expressed, then it has to have a dominant allele. They don't need another recessive allele.
Does recessive allele is expressed if there is no dominant allele present?
YES
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook
When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?
A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.

What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
The recessive allele is present, but not shown in complete dominance. This is because the dominant allele is completely dominant over the recessive allele, therefore it is shown, while the recessive allele is hidden.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
I think if an allele "want" to be expressed, then it has to have a dominant allele. They don't need another recessive allele.
Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
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.
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
What is an expressed allele in a heterozygote?
Dominant allele as opposed to recessive allele.
Does recessive allele is expressed if there is no dominant allele present?
YES
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?

How do you write dominant and recessive allels?
normally, the dominant allele is expressed as a capital letter and the recessive allele is expressed as a lowercase letter, if that's what you mean!
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
