Dominant Trait Meaning

Example:

Imagine you're at a party where a loud band is playing, making it difficult to hear the quieter conversations around you. This situation is similar to a dominant trait in genetics, where one allele's characteristic can overshadow or "mask" the presence of another allele's trait. Just as the band's music overpowers the softer sounds, a dominant allele expresses its trait more prominently, making the recessive allele's trait less noticeable or completely hidden in the organism's phenotype.
