-
Dominant
-
the allele that expresses itself at the expense of an alternate allele;
the phenotype that is expressed in the F1 generation from the
cross of two pure lines
-
Recessive
-
an allele whose expression is suppressed in the presence of a dominant
allele; the phenotype that disappears in the F1 generation from
the cross of two pure lines and reappears in the F2 generation
