dominant trait
The term applied to the trait that is expressed in regardless of the second allele is dominant. In contrast, the term recessive refers to a trait that is expressed when the second allele is identical.

Complete dominance
The allele not expressed is referred to as a recessiveallele.
Yes, a recessive allele will be expressed if there is no dominant allele present in the genotype. This is because in the absence of a dominant allele, the recessive allele has the opportunity to be expressed in the phenotype.
Yes, a recessive allele needs to be paired with another recessive allele in order to be expressed. This is because recessive alleles are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.
Dominant allele as opposed to recessive allele.
The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype is "dominant." Dominant alleles are expressed phenotypically when present, masking the effects of recessive alleles.
No, the dominant allele will be expressed in the individual's phenotype, masking the presence of the recessive allele. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.
A dominant allele will mask the expression of a recessive allele when they are present together in an organism. The dominant allele will be expressed, while the recessive allele will not be visibly expressed in the organism's phenotype.
