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
The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype is "dominant." Dominant alleles are expressed phenotypically when present, masking the effects of recessive alleles.
In a relationship where one allele is completely dominant over another in genetic inheritance, the dominant allele will always be expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if both alleles are recessive. This is known as complete dominance.
Epistasis occurs when one gene masks the expression of another gene, while dominance is when one allele of a gene is expressed over another allele. In epistasis, the interaction between genes affects the phenotype, while in dominance, one allele is dominant and determines the phenotype.
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.
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.
A dominant one
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.
Complete dominance is a genetic phenomenon where one allele completely masks the effect of another allele at the same locus in a heterozygous individual. In this scenario, the dominant allele's traits are fully expressed, while the recessive allele's traits are completely obscured. This results in offspring showing only the phenotype associated with the dominant allele, regardless of the presence of the recessive allele. An example of complete dominance can be seen in Mendel's pea plants, where the dominant allele for purple flowers completely masks the recessive allele for white flowers.

When one allele completely masks the expression of another allele at the same locus in a heterozygote, it is known as complete dominance. In this case, the dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype while the recessive allele is not observable.
The recessive allele.
DefinitionnounA kind of dominance wherein the dominant allele completely masks the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygous condition.SupplementFor instance, an individual carrying two alleles that are both dominant(e.g. AA), the trait that they represent will be expressed. But if the individual carries two alleles in a manner that one is dominantand the other one is recessive, (e.g. Aa), the dominant allele will be expressed while the recessive allele will be suppressed. Hence, theheterozygote (Aa) will have the same phenotypeas that of the dominant homozygote (AA). This condition is called complete dominance.

Complete dominance occurs when one allele completely masks the effect of another allele at the same gene locus. An example of this is the inheritance of flower color in pea plants, where the allele for purple flowers (P) is completely dominant over the allele for white flowers (p). In this case, both homozygous (PP) and heterozygous (Pp) plants will exhibit purple flowers, while only homozygous recessive (pp) plants will show white flowers. This clear masking of one allele by another is a hallmark of complete dominance.
