The gene that is not expressed in a heterozygous situation is called a recessive gene. This is because the heterozygous individual has both a dominant and recessive allele, but only the dominant allele is expressed in their phenotype. The recessive allele is only expressed in individuals who are homozygous for the recessive trait.
