The recessive allele is covered up by the dominant allele in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is only expressed when two copies are present (in a homozygous recessive individual).

What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
What is the result when a dominant allele pairs up with a recessive allele in simple dominance?
The dominant form of the trait shows. -Gradpoint
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other 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.
Allele that prevents the expression of a recessive allele?
A dominant allele
If and individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele will the recessive allele show up?
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.
What is an allie that is covered up or hidden?
If you mean allele, then the answer is a recessive allele. A recessive allele is dominated by a dominant allele, and generally does not show up physically.
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
An allele that is dominated or covered up by another allele is called a recessive allele. This means that the trait associated with the recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele.
Which is the dominant allele?
The dominant allele is the trait that shows up in the organism when the allele is present

What allele covers up or dominates the other trait?
The dominant allele covers up or masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is typically represented by an uppercase letter, while the recessive allele is represented by a lowercase letter.
How Dominant allele different from recessive allele?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
