The principle of dominance is a
inheritance pattern. It states traits that are

This question is incomplete, it is asking to fill in the missing gaps as follows:

The principle of dominance is a inheritance pattern.

It’s states traits that are mask the traits that are

The answers to the missing gaps are: MENDELIAN, DOMINANT, RECESSIVE

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel proposed the principles that govern inheritance. These principles are called MENDELIAN inheritance pattern because they align with or follow the principles of Mendel. One of these principles by Mendel is the LAW OF DOMINANCE.

Mendel has previously stated that there are two alleles for each gene. Each contrasting allele encodes a different phenotype. However, the law of dominance states that one of these two alleles called DOMINANT allele has the ability to mask the phenotypic expression of the other allele called RECESSIVE allele. In other words, a dominant trait will mask the recessive trait.

For example, in a gene Tt, allele 'T' for tallness is dominant and hence, will mask the phenotypic expression of allele 't' for shortness. This means that the tall trait (dominant) will mask the short trait (recessive) as explained by Mendel's law of dominance.

explanation:

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
