Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?

Recessive traits are not expressed when the dominant form is present. This is because the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition. Only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele will the recessive trait be expressed.


Will an organism with a recessive allele for a particular form of a trait will always exhibit that form?

No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.
