Question

Dominant character masks the ................. characters.

• A. Recessive
• B. Dominant
• C. Parental
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Recessive

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on the phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive.

In other words, a dominant allele can express in both homozygous and heterozygous forms. At the same time, a recessive allele can express only in homozygous form.
