<P> Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene , in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus . The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive . For genes on an autosome ( any chromosome other than a sex chromosome ) , the alleles and their associated traits are autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive . Dominance is a key concept in Mendelian inheritance and classical genetics . Often the dominant allele codes for a functional protein whereas the recessive allele does not . </P>
