It overpowers and masks the other allele
The dominant allele will always show physically in an individual, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if paired with another recessive allele.
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
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.
An allele that always shows up when present is called a dominant allele. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles when both are present in a genotype. This means that the phenotype associated with the dominant allele will be expressed, regardless of whether the individual carries one or two copies of that allele. For example, if the dominant allele for a trait is present, the trait will be visible in the organism's phenotype.

An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.
An allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype and masks the expression of another allele is called dominant. Dominant alleles are always expressed, even when paired with a recessive allele.
No, the dominant allele will be expressed in the individual's phenotype, masking the presence of the recessive allele. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.
The dominant allele will always show physically in an individual, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if paired with another recessive allele.

A dominant allele
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
No, a dominant allele will not always increase in frequency over time. The frequency of an allele in a population can be influenced by various factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow.
