Dominant Trait

A trait of an allele that masks the other trait

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a party where one person is speaking so loudly that you can't hear anyone else talking. This situation is similar to a dominant trait in genetics, where one allele is so prominent that it masks the effects of another allele. Just like the loud speaker at the party who drowns out other voices, a dominant allele overshadows the presence of a recessive allele, determining the observable trait.
