Which term best describes the situation when an allele has no noticeable effect on an organism's phenotype?

In genetics, when using letter symbols to represent alleles, how is a dominant allele typically represented?

In the context of variations of dominance, what best defines a recessive allele?

Which type of allele is sometimes referred to as a loss-of-function gene?
