Heterozygous dominant. Could also be called a masked trait.


Traits seem to disappear when two different genes for the same trait are present?

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.


An organism carrying one dominant and dominant and one recessive allele for a particular trait would be what for that trait?
