i think the answer your lokking for is recessive
Recessive is when you have a trait in your genome but it doesn't show in your physical appearance
What else can I help you with?
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
An allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype and masks the expression of another allele is called dominant. Dominant alleles are always expressed, even when paired with a recessive allele.
What is codominace mean?
Codominance is a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele usually will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.
What happens when different alleles of the trait are present?
When different alleles of a trait are present, one allele may be dominant over the other, expressing its associated trait while the recessive allele remains hidden. In some cases, both alleles may exert influence, resulting in a blending or co-dominant expression. Additionally, the presence of multiple alleles can lead to a range of phenotypic variations within a population.
What results when one allele is not dominant over the other?
When one allele is not dominant over the other, both alleles contribute to the phenotype in a form of incomplete dominance or codominance. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous individual displays a phenotype that is a blend of the two alleles. In codominance, both alleles are expressed independently, resulting in a phenotype that shows traits from both alleles.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
What is hidden in the heterozygote?
In a heterozygote, there are two different alleles for a specific gene. One allele is dominant and will be expressed, while the other allele, called the recessive allele, is not expressed but is still present in the genetic makeup of the individual. The recessive allele is "hidden" in the heterozygote because its presence does not affect the outward appearance or expression of the dominant allele.
What is hidden in the heterozyotes?
Heterozygotes have two different alleles for a particular gene, where one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. The recessive allele is "hidden" in heterozygotes because it is not expressed phenotypically but can be passed on to offspring.
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
An allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype and masks the expression of another allele is called dominant. Dominant alleles are always expressed, even when paired with a recessive allele.

When different alleles of a trait are present, one allele may be dominant over the other, expressing its associated trait while the recessive allele remains hidden. In some cases, both alleles may exert influence, resulting in a blending or co-dominant expression. Additionally, the presence of multiple alleles can lead to a range of phenotypic variations within a population.
When the alleles of a gene pair are expressed differently but neither is dominant to the other?
Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed.
When phenotype of both homozygous are produced in the heterozygote they are called?
Codominance is what it is called. That is when neither allele is completely dominant over the other.
What results when one allele is not dominant over the other?
When one allele is not dominant over the other, both alleles contribute to the phenotype in a form of incomplete dominance or codominance. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous individual displays a phenotype that is a blend of the two alleles. In codominance, both alleles are expressed independently, resulting in a phenotype that shows traits from both alleles.
What does the principle of dominance state?
Basically, it states there are two forms of a gene called alleles, heterozygous in this case, and one allele masks the expression of the other allele. This is simplified, as it can get complex with co-dominance and partial dominance.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
What contrasting alleles may in some cases result in a case where neither allele is dominant over the other?
If both alleles are recessive, then you will haev a case where contrasting alleles that do not have dominance. Neither allele has the power to be dominant so they will both have equal power of genetics.
What is a complete dominance?
Complete dominance is a genetics concept used in heterozygous alleles. The dominant allele completely suppresses expression of the recessive one so that a homozygous dominant and a heterozygous individual are phenotypically indistinguishable.
