A masked allele in the genotype that is only expressed when 2 of the same masked alleles are inherited is called recessive trait.

What is a trait?

A trait can be defined as a distinguishing quality (characteristic) of a living organism. Thus, it refers to the specific features and characteristics that are possessed by a living organism.

According to Genetics, traits are essentially divided into two (2) and these include:

  • Dominant traits.
  • Recessive traits.

In conclusion, a recessive trait typically refers to a masked allele in the genotype (h0m0zygous) that is only expressed by a living organism when two (2) of the same masked alleles are inherited.
