Question

an individual that has a dominant allele will have the phenotype of the ______________ trait(s).
a dominant
b recessive
c neither
d both

Explanation:

In genetics, a dominant allele masks the expression of a recessive allele. So, if an individual has a dominant allele (even if they also have a recessive allele, like in a heterozygous genotype), the dominant trait will be the one expressed in the phenotype. For example, in pea plants, the allele for tall (T) is dominant over short (t). A plant with genotype Tt (one dominant, one recessive) will be tall (the dominant trait's phenotype).

Answer:

A. dominant
