when one allele is completely dominant over another allele, then it masks the expression of the second allele
so the allele that masks the effect is called dominant allele and the allele whos effect is masked is called recessive allele

What is The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype?
An allele whose characteristic phenotype is masked by the presence of a second allele is called recessive when used in reference to that second allele.
What is expressed when neither copy of an allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen.?
When neither copy of an allele is completely expressed or completely masked, it is called Incomplete Dominance. When incomplete dominance is present, then the offspring will have a blend of both parental phenotypes but will always be a slight bit slower to one parent than the other.
When an allele mask the presence of another allele it is said to be?
Dominent. Simple- you have two types of Alleles, Dominent and Reccessive. Imagine a punnet square for the allele that causes albinoism (A). One parent has Aa, or one dominent allele and one reccessive allele for the trait. If the dominent skin-tone gene wasn't there (A), then it would be AA and he would be an albino. But since he has a dominent allele, he has normal color. If he made a baby with another Aa combination, they would have 25% chance of having an AA baby with no reccessive allele, a 50% chance of having an identical Aa combination, and a 25% chance of having an albino baby, AA.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
What are 2 possible end results of meiosis?
There could be 4 daughter cells with half the chromosomes as the original. Another outcome is crossing over in which one allele from one chromosome changes positions with an allele from another chromosome.
When one allele of a gene masks the presence of the allele what form can be seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
What is the name given to an allele that masks another?
A dominant one
When one allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form can seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
What one allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form can be seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
When allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form can be seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
When one of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
When one allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked.?
recessive A+
What is it alled when one allele is not completely dominant over another?
This is called codominance.
What is it called in situations in which one allele for a gene is not completely dominant over another allele for that gene?
incomplete dominance
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
