Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The trait that is present at the gene level but is masked and does not show itself in the organism is called the recessive trait.
Detailed explanation-2: -A recessive allele does not produce a trait at all when only one copy is present. This contrasts to a dominant trait, which requires that only one of the two alleles be present to express the trait.
Detailed explanation-3: -The observable traits expressed by an organism are referred to as its phenotype. An organism’s underlying genetic makeup, consisting of both the physically visible and the non-expressed alleles, is called its genotype.
