Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The dominance or recessivity associated with a particular allele is the result of masking, by which a dominant phenotype hides a recessive phenotype. By this logic, in heterozygous offspring only the dominant phenotype will be apparent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Complete dominance is a form of dominance in the heterozygous condition wherein the allele that is regarded as dominant completely masks the effect of the allele that is recessive.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: A dominant allele would be able to mask the expression of a recessive allele. A phenotype is the actual physical characteristic expressed.
