A contributing allele is a dominant allele which adds to the phenotype (the characteristics or traits of an organism).
An expressed allele is actively used to produce a specific protein or trait in an organism, while an inactive allele is not being actively used or expressed due to various factors such as mutations or epigenetic modifications. Inactive alleles may still be present in an individual's genetic makeup but are not contributing to the phenotype.
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
A dominant allele
Yes, a recessive allele is masked or overridden by a dominant allele in a heterozygous individual. This means that the dominant allele's trait will be expressed. In contrast, a recessive allele's trait will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
In a dominant-recessive allele relationship, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically over the recessive allele. This means that even if an organism carries one dominant and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will determine the observable characteristic.

A dominant allele
The answer is allele
An allele that is dominated or covered up by another allele is called a recessive allele. This means that the trait associated with the recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele.
Individuals with two recessive alleles have very high rates of reproduction.

Recessive allele.
Dominant allele as opposed to recessive allele.
A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.
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 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.
