Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This given statement is true.

A dominant allele is the one which overrides the expression of the other allele of the same gene.

For instance,

R is a dominant allele and give red color to flowers while r is the recessive allele and give white color to the flowers

Rr together will give red color to flower because R will dominate r
