Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The dominant allele (definition: the allele that is expressed) masks the effect of the recessive allele (definition: the allele that is not expressed). The term “phenotype” is used to describe a visible trait or characteristic. Assuming that the trait is controlled by only one gene, both alleles constitute a genotype.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is option (b) Dominant. A dominant allele is an allele that is expressed in the phenotype of an individual even when present as a single copy. This allele is not affected nor masked by the presence of the other allele.
