Recessive alleles are only expressed when they are inherited from both parents. If only one parent passes the recessive allele, the individual will be heterozygous and express the dominant allele. If neither parent passes the recessive allele, the individual cannot inherit or express it. If the recessive allele is inherited along with a dominant allele, the dominant allele will be expressed, and the recessive allele will be masked.
