That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
What is a person who has recessive allele for a trait but does not express that trait?
They would be considered a carrier. ------------------------------- More precisely a heterozygote. A carrier would imply that the recessive trait causes disease.

Dominant allele as opposed to recessive allele.
What allele is expressed in a heterozygote?
The allele not expressed is referred to as a recessiveallele.

cold
Allele not expressed in heterozygote?
"recessive"
How does a dominant trait affect the phenotype of an organism?
If the the trait is controlled by only one allele and the allele is completely dominant then once inherited the offspring with exhibit that phenotype
