alleles masking each other

In a homozygote, two alleles of a given gene are identical, and thus the alleles are dominant and recessive to each other, i.e., they mask each other.
Example sentence:

The allele that masks the other is said to be dominant to the latter, and the allele that is masked is said to be recessive to the former
