A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.
A dominant allele expresses its trait in an individual when present, masking the effect of a recessive allele. This means that if an individual has at least one copy of a dominant allele, the associated trait will be displayed.
Mendel called the trait that was always expressed the dominant trait.
The individual is said to be homozygous for that trait. This means that both copies of the gene for that trait are identical.
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.

No, often many other alleles will also determine the same trait. For example, many alleles put together will determine a person's skin color.
A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.
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.
An individual can have a maximum of two alleles for one trait, as they inherit one allele from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous) for a specific trait.
The genotype of the individual is homozygous for the trait in question.
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.

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.
