The correct answer is “a dominant-recessive pattern".
A dominant-recessive pattern pertains to the characteristics of the allele to portray a certain phenotype. A dominant allele (represented by capital letters) will show the phenotype even if the other allele is recessive (represented by small letters). A recessive allele will only manifest a phenotype of both alleles are recessive.
For example:
A is the dominant trait that will make the peas green; a is the recessive allele that will make the peas yellow
The pair AA are both dominant alleles and will make the peas green. The pair Aa has both the dominant allele and the recessive allele but since the dominant allele is present, the peas will still be green. The pair aa has both the recessive allele and will make the peas yellow.
The term you're referring to which scientists implement to describe "different forms of life on Earth" is perhaps "Organism".
