When one allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele, what form is masked?

Answer 1

The masked allele, is called RECESSIVE and the allele that expresses itself is called DOMINANT.

Alleles are different forms of same gene. One person can have only two alleles of the same gene.

The expression of the recessive character is masked when the dominant allele is present. Recessive character expression only occurs when the recessive allele is present in a double dose.
