It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
The form of a trait that appears to mask another form of the same trait is called the dominant trait. Dominant traits will be expressed over recessive traits in a heterozygous individual.
Recessive traits are not expressed when the dominant form is present. This is because the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition. Only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele will the recessive trait be expressed.
An allele is a variant form of a gene that determines a specific trait. Alleles are inherited from parents and can be dominant or recessive, affecting how traits are expressed in an individual. In genetic inheritance, alleles are passed down from parents to offspring, influencing the traits and characteristics that are inherited.
A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
The form of a trait that appears to mask another form of the same trait is called the dominant trait. Dominant traits will be expressed over recessive traits in a heterozygous individual.
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.
Recessive traits are not expressed when the dominant form is present. This is because the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition. Only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele will the recessive trait be expressed.

In genetic inheritance, alleles are passed down from parents to offspring, influencing the traits and characteristics that are inherited.
Incomplete dominance is a trait that can result when an organism receives genes for two different forms of the same trait. In this case, neither form of the trait is fully expressed, leading to a blending of the two forms.
The gametes (sex cells) that combine to form a new organism in sexual reproduction each contain one set of the instructions for the genes of the new organism, that is, one set each for each trait.
genotype
The form of a combination of two traits that may be hidden is called a recessive trait. This means that the trait is not expressed unless an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
INHERITED CHARACTERISTICS
A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
No, recessive traits refer to the inheritance pattern of the allele. In the simple case where a trait is either expressed or not, if it is a recessive trait it will only be the expressed phenotype when it is homozygous. Dominant allele phenotypes will show if the genotype is heterozygous.
A recessive trait is a characteristic of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait. It is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. Examples include blue eye color being masked by brown eye color.
