Dictionary of Biological Psychology
autosomal dominant/recessive
A term describing an ALLELE of a GENE found on an AUTOSOMAL CHROMOSOME. Because there are two of each autosomal chromosome per cell, a dominant allele will mask a recessive allele, so that the dominant characteristic will be observed in the organism. If both alleles are recessive, then the recessive trait will be observed.
