What's the term for an allele that's always expressed over another?
recessive
prevalent
mutated
dominant
When two different alleles (heritable factors) are inherited together, one may be expressed, while the effect of the other may be “silenced. ” In the case of pod color, the allele for green pods is always expressed and is dominant . The allele for yellow pods, which is not expressed, is recessive . For instance, if a plant inherits a “yellow-pod” allele and a “green pod” allele, it will have only green pods.
