The dominant allele will always show physically in an individual, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if paired with another recessive allele.
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
A dominant allele is a version of a gene that, when present, will always be expressed in the organism's phenotype, overriding the presence of a recessive allele. This means that if an individual inherits one copy of a dominant allele and one copy of a recessive allele for a particular gene, the dominant allele will determine the observable trait.

Complete dominance
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant 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.
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.
The dominant allele will always show physically in an individual, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if paired with another recessive allele.

A dominant allele
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.

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).
