When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
The recessive allele.
The recessive allele.
It depends on the genotype of the childs other parent. If your partner is heterozygous as well then there is a 25% chance your child will be homozygous recessive. If they are homozygous dominant then none of your children will have the phenotype of the recessive trait. They will just possibly be carriers of the recessive allele.
When one allele completely masks the expression of another allele at the same locus in a heterozygote, it is known as complete dominance. In this case, the dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype while the recessive allele is not observable.

The recessive 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.

A dominant allele is a form of gene that masks the presence of a recessive allele when both are present in an individual. This means that the trait associated with the dominant allele will be expressed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles are typically represented by uppercase letters.
Dominance.
because it dominates the phenotype
When one allele completely masks the expression of another allele at the same locus in a heterozygote, it is known as complete dominance. In this case, the dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype while the recessive allele is not observable.
In cases of complete dominance, one allele, known as the dominant allele, masks the expression of the other allele, known as the recessive allele, in the heterozygous state. This results in only the dominant allele being expressed in the phenotype.
