Examples of dominant traits are listed below.
First, I've included several definitions to put the answer in context:
"Dominant traits" are referenced in the study of genetics, which is a branch of Biology that deals with the heredity and variation of organisms.
In biology, the basic unit of which all living things are composed is called a cell.
A chromosome is the microscopic, threadlike part of a cell that carries hereditary information.
A gene is a unit of heredity that occupies a fixed position (locus) on a chromosome.
A genetic trait is a physical characteristic brought about by the expression of a gene or many genes.
Examples of traits are eye colour and the ability to roll your tounge.
Variations in these characteristics are dependent upon the particular alleles (any one of the alternative forms of a given gene that code for slightly different versions of the same trait).
Genotype describes the genetic constitution of an individual, i.e. the specific list of alleles.
Phenotype describes the total physical appearance of an organism.
The genotype/phenotype distinction was proposed by Wilhelm Johannsen in 1911 to make clear the difference beween an organism's heredity and what that heredity produces. The genotype is observed by looking at DNA, the phenotype observed through the outward appearance of the organism. Some genes only express a given phenotype in certain environmental conditions; some phenotypes could be the result of a certain combination of genotypes.
When a pair of alleles (one half of each pair comes from each parent) is the same, they are called "homozygous"; when a pair of alleles are not the same, they are called "heterozygous."
A "dominance relationship" refers to how the alles for a locus interact to produce a phenotype. In other words, when an organism has a heterozygous allele pair, the trait that is expressed in the phenotype is "dominant."
A simple example is the flower colour in pea plants (see Gregor Mendel). There are three available genotypes, PP (homozygous dominant), Pp (heterozygous), and pp (homozygous recessive). All three have different genotypes but the first two have the same phenotype (purple) as distinct from the third (white). This means that when this pair of alleles are different types (one allele for white and one for purple), the pea plant will be purple -- purple is the dominant trait.
Here are some common dominant traits in humans:

Question - What Causes some genes to be ressesive and other genes to be dominant?
------------------------------------------------
Think about the fact that genes code for directions for making proteins.
There are many different kinds of proteins in our body-enzymes for regulating
metabolism, structural proteins for building our bodies, hormones for
regulating processes etc. If the gene for the protein is structural, then it
is important to have the right kind and the right amount. If the gene is
defective (usually recessive genes are defective, but not always) the right
protein will not be made and the structure will either be defective and won't
work at all or there won't be enough to maintain the structure. Sometimes
you need both genes to be working to get enough of the structure. So a
homozygous person will have the strongest structure. A heterozygote would
have one gene that is working a may produce enough of the protein to maintain
the structure, but maybe not. So in some cases, just having one copy of the
dominant (working) gene is enough. If it is a trait for something like eye
color, this is not going to cause a defect, just a difference. In this case,
being heterozygous or homozgyous for the dominant trait produces the same
color of eye. In the case of sickle cell anemia, the recessive gene changes
the protein structure of the shape of the red blood cell. If you have one
good copy and one bad copy of the gene, some of your cells will be normal and
some will be sickle cells. One good copy of the gene gives you enough normal
red blood cells to stay healthy. But if you don't have a normal copy, all
of your cells have the capability to sickle under certain conditions and this
can be fatal. So think of dominant and recessive genes in terms of what they
produce and what that protein is supposed to do and then think of what would
happen if the dominant gene was able to overtake the effect of the recessive
gene.

well i have no idea so dont ask me persons ok i love ya
wolves, baboons, chickensmost social animals with groups because one specific animal or group of animals is/are leaders and the others are subserviant
An allele that's masked by a dominant gene is called a "Recessive"recessiverecessive traitThe recessive allele. Often depicted as the "small r" in examples: Rr, R=dominant, r= recessive.
Dominant allele disorders are single gene disorders which take effect in the heterozygous state.
Recessive, but dominant in some rare cases.
cause they can fool bi**
dominant genes for freckles
Because Tacos are good
Some examples would be Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, as well as some branches of Christianity, such as Catholicism which is not dominant in the area.
flowering plants are the dominant plant life;humans convert open spaces to farm land
Dominant traits are more common. For example, brown hair and eyes are good examples of dominant traits. Another example of a dominant trait are your earlobes! Free earlobes are more common than attached earlobes.
A Phenotype, physical appearance.
Examples of cultural domination include the spread of a dominant language, such as English, influencing the languages spoken by minority groups; the imposition of certain religious beliefs on a population; and the global influence of Western popular culture through media and entertainment. Cultural domination can also manifest through the imposition of a dominant group's values, norms, and traditions on a marginalized community.
Dwarfism is a dominant trait in humans.
Dominant Inheritance is when one parent has a dominant gene and the other has a recessive gene. The dominant gene overpowers the recessive gene, and only the dominant gene is phenotypically expressed.Source: http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/recessive.phpSome examples are variegate porphyria, Huntington's disease and myotonic dystrophy.source: http://genome.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_WTD020849.html
Some traits are dominant and others are receptive. The gene for blue eyes is recessive and the gene for brown eyes is dominant.
An allele that's masked by a dominant gene is called a "Recessive"recessiverecessive traitThe recessive allele. Often depicted as the "small r" in examples: Rr, R=dominant, r= recessive.
Dominant allele disorders are single gene disorders which take effect in the heterozygous state.
The type of bonding that is more dominant in solids depends on the specific material. Examples of dominant bonding types in solids include covalent bonding in diamond, metallic bonding in metals, and ionic bonding in salt.
