Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

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.


Q: What's the term for an allele that's always expressed over another?

 Choices:

- prevalent

- mutated

- recessive

- dominant

A:
dominant
