Recessive traits are masked by dominant traits.
The trait that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is known as a recessive trait. It is masked by the dominant trait in individuals carrying both alleles.
recessive
The observable characteristic are called the genotype and any dominant trait can mask the recessive. An example would be Black Angus cattle can actually carry a red recessive trait because black is the dominant trait in cattle breeding
No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.
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.
A recessive trait is one that is not expressed when paired with a dominant trait. It may only be visually evident when both copies of the gene carry the recessive form.

The weaker trait is called the recessive trait The stronger one is called the dominant trait

Homozygous Dominant for a trait means that an organism has two dominant alleles for that trait. Here's an example: Trait: Widow's Peak Widow's Peak allele: Dominant (D) No widow's peak allele: Reccessive(d) Homozygous Dominant (DD) Homozygous Reccessive (dd) Heterozygous (Dd)
A trait that masks another trait is called a dominant trait. This means that when an organism carries both dominant and recessive alleles for a particular gene, only the dominant trait will be expressed in the phenotype.
Heterozygous dominant. Could also be called a masked trait.
This phenomenon is known as dominance, where one gene masks the expression of another gene for the same trait. When an organism carries two different genes for a trait, one gene is dominant and determines the observable trait, while the other gene, known as recessive, is not expressed in the presence of the dominant gene.
