False. Blood type genes have two dominant alleles (A and B), and one recessive (O). When a person gets one A allele and one B allele, they then have the blood type AB. Both are expressed equally. In other genes, a dominant allele might not be completely dominant, allowing the recessive allele to be partially expressed.
