dominant

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.
