What type of allele masks the expression of the recessive allele and is therefore expressed in the heterozygous?
A dominant allele will mask the prsence of a recssive allele
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.
Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.
Is when one allele completely masks another?
This is called complete dominance, where one allele completely masks the expression of another allele in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is expressed phenotypically, while the recessive allele remains hidden.
Capacity of one allele to suppress the expression?
A dominant allele will express itself if present, and will suppress the recessive allele's expression.
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook

The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
What does a dominant allele does this to another 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.
What is Only expressed when the other allele is absent?
The term you're looking for is "recessive allele." A recessive allele is only expressed in an organism's phenotype when two copies are present, meaning the corresponding dominant allele is absent. In other words, for a trait associated with a recessive allele to be visible, the individual must inherit the recessive allele from both parents. If at least one dominant allele is present, it will mask the expression of the recessive allele.
Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.

Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Recessive allele.
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
Having a dominant and recessive allele is known as Mendelian inheritance, named after Gregor Mendel, the scientist who first described it. In this type of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.
What makes a dominant allele different from recessive Allie?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
