Any trait can be inherited, be it dominant or otherwise. except in certain situations where you have an XX XX cross in which case the inherited trait in 100% of offspring will be dominant.
You should phrase the question better. It will improve the quality of the answers.

Characteristic that is inherited that can be either dominant or recessive?
trait
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
When two recessive genes are inherited, and the portion of recessive inheritance is 51% or greater in favor of the recessive trait.
When a trait has more than two alleles is that trait inherited?
If one parent has a dominant trait and and another parent has a recessive trait, then the recessive trait gets hidden while the dominant trait gets shown.
Is sectoral heterochromia inherited?
sectoral heterochromia is an autosomally dominant trait, meaning it is inherited from both your parents.
What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
How does a dominant trait affect the phenotype of an organism?
If the the trait is controlled by only one allele and the allele is completely dominant then once inherited the offspring with exhibit that phenotype
What is a dominate trait?
Dominant trait is a genetics term. A dominant trait is one which will be expressed if one of the parents has the gene for that trait. A recessive trait is one that will be expressed only if both parents carry the trait.
What type of trait is usually expressed in the offspring?
This is biology and is called heredity or genetics.
How does a person inherit hemophilia and is it dominant or recessive?
It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.
What does it mean to have a dominant trait?
In genetics, a trait is considered dominant when it determines a phenotype over a recessive trait. For example, AA is crossed with AA to make Aa, Aa, Aa, and Aa. If "A" is the dominant trait and "a" is the recessive trait, then since this cross produces heterozygous progeny, they will all show the dominant phenotype. A dominant trait is just how it sounds, it dominates over recessive traits when they are both present.
Is a dominant trait seen in the first generation or the second generation?
Dominant traits tend to manifest whenever they are inherited. The real question is, "When do you see recessive traits?" Traits are coded in genes. We all inherit genes from both of our parents. If the dominant trait is capital Y and the recessive trait is lowercase y we can calculate the odds fairly easily. There are only four combinations that can be inherited from one pair of parents: YY, Yy, yY, and yy (this is usually visualized using a "punnet square"). Only in the case of both inherited traits being lowercase y will we see the recessive trait. Otherwise, we will usually see the dominant trait.
What is the difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
A dominate trait will most likely take over the recessive.
