This is called codominance in this case, neither allele is dominant over another, it creates in heterozyogous individuals a phenotype that is not in intermediate, nor the phenotype either of the two alleles create, but rather, a different phenotype.

The form of a trait that appears to mask another form the same trait is called what?

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.


What describes a trait that is covered over or dominated by another form of the trait and seems to disappear?

A trait that is covered over or dominated by another form of the trait and seems to disappear is called a recessive trait. In genetics, recessive traits only manifest when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.


When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?

A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.


How is incomplete dominance different from a dominant and recessive relationship?

Incomplete dominance is a genetic relationship where neither allele is completely dominant over the other. This results in a blending of traits, rather than one trait being dominant and the other recessive. In a dominant and recessive relationship, one allele is fully dominant over the other, leading to the expression of only one trait.


What does it mean to have a dominant trait?

In genetics, a trait is considered dominant when it determines a phenotype over a recessive trait. For example, AA is crossed with AA to make Aa, Aa, Aa, and Aa. If "A" is the dominant trait and "a" is the recessive trait, then since this cross produces heterozygous progeny, they will all show the dominant phenotype. A dominant trait is just how it sounds, it dominates over recessive traits when they are both present.

What is a dominate trait?

Dominant trait is a genetics term. A dominant trait is one which will be expressed if one of the parents has the gene for that trait. A recessive trait is one that will be expressed only if both parents carry the trait.

What does it mean when a trait is recessive?

The principle of excessiveness is defined as the explanation of why one trait will not show over another. If a trait is recessive it will not show when a dominant trait is present.
