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.

When an allele mask the presence of another allele it is said to be?

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.

Why are genes called dominent?

Each gene has two alleles. When an allele is dominant, it will express the phenotype of that allele. Recessive alleles are only expressed when there are two copies of that allele. Edited answer: Only those genes are called dominant which show their phenotypic expression in an individual.

What does the term incomplete dominance refer to?

Incomplete dominance refers to a genetic scenario where neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a blending of the traits of the two alleles. This leads to an intermediate phenotype in individuals that inherit one copy of each allele.


Which type of genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring?

A dominant genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring because only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed.
