Dominant Trait

Real World Example

Imagine you're in a room with a loudspeaker playing music and a whispering friend trying to tell you something. The loud music from the speaker makes it difficult to hear the whisper, much like a dominant trait in genetics, where one allele masks the presence of another. In this analogy, the loudspeaker represents the dominant allele, overpowering the softer whisper of the recessive allele, ensuring that only the dominant trait is expressed or 'heard' in the room.
