Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A trait that overpowers or hides another.
A
recessive
B
dominant
C
codominant
D
incomplete dominant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: A trait that ‘’overpowers” and hide another traits is called dominant trait. Dominant trait will get expressed in the presence of another trait.

Detailed explanation-2: -The trait that is always expressed and masks the effect of other traits is called a dominant trait.

Detailed explanation-3: -An allele is a pair of genes on a chromosome that determine a hereditary trait. With alleles, there are two main types of alleles that are essential. A dominant allele is one that will be more overpowering than another allele and a recessive allele is an allele that can be overpowered by a dominant allele.

Detailed explanation-4: -Refers to a trait that is expressed only when genotype is homozygous; a trait that tends to be masked by other inherited traits, yet persists in a population among heterozygous genotypes. © Nature Education. Further Exploration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dominant refers to the inheritance of traits that are typically passed vertically from parent to child where both the parent and the child are affected by the trait or disorder that is related to that gene.
