The dominant-recessive pattern is the interaction of a heterozygous pair of alleles in such a way that the phenotype reflects one allele more than the other. In this pattern, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele, resulting in a heterozygous individual having the same phenotype as a homozygous dominant individual. The other answer choices are not accurate descriptions of this pattern.
