A heterozygote has the genotype of the dominant allele...therefore the recessive trait is the one that is masked.

The allele that does not affect the trait in a heterozygote is known as the recessive allele. This allele is masked by the dominant allele, which determines the observable trait. However, the recessive allele can still be passed on to offspring if both parents are carriers.

What is the trait being studied in the heterozygote?
The trait being studied in the heterozygote is typically the dominant trait, as it is the one that is expressed in the presence of at least one dominant allele. This allows researchers to observe how the dominant allele interacts with the recessive allele in terms of phenotype expression.
What is a person with one recessive allele and one dominant allell for a trait called?
Heterozygous.
An allele is dominant in a heterozygote when it is?
expressed in the phenotype even when paired with a different allele.
What is dominant expression?
Dominant expression refers to the situation where a specific gene allele is more likely to be expressed in an individual, resulting in the appearance of a certain characteristic or trait. This can mask the presence of a recessive allele that carries a different trait.
This is the name of an organism with two different alleles?
The organism is heterozygous for that allele.
What allele does affect the trait in a heterozygote?
The recessive allele.
What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
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 the trait being studied in the heterozygote?
The trait being studied in the heterozygote is typically the dominant trait, as it is the one that is expressed in the presence of at least one dominant allele. This allows researchers to observe how the dominant allele interacts with the recessive allele in terms of phenotype expression.
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 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.
What is an expressed allele in a heterozygote?
Dominant allele as opposed to recessive allele.
What allele is expressed in a heterozygote?
The allele not expressed is referred to as a recessiveallele.
Allele not expressed in heterozygote?
"recessive"
What is a person with one recessive allele and one dominant allell for a trait called?
Heterozygous.
An allele is dominant in a heterozygote when it is?
expressed in the phenotype even when paired with a different allele.
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
Is the allele for retinal blindness dominant?
I think it is dominant in heterozygote form
