Dominant when spoken of as a principle usually refers to the characteristics of genes and alleles (different forms of genes). A dominant trait for example would mask the expression of another. For example a brown eyed mother and a blue eyed father will have a brown eyed baby because brown is dominant and masks the fathers blue eyed gene.

What did Mendel mean by a dominant factor?
Mendel meant that a dominant factor is a gene that expresses its trait in an individual when present with the corresponding recessive gene. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual.
Is angel man recessive or dominant?
recessive
Is the trait for bleeder's disease dominant or recessive?
Recessive
What is the difference between dominant alleles and recessive alleles?
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
What makes a dominant allele different from recessive Allie?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
What is recessive and dominant mean?
I am pretty sure the recessive and dominant alleles you are talking about are covered in Biology. Recessive alleles are basically alleles that are received from both parent's DNA that are carries, (dd). However, dominant alleles are (exactly what it says) always expressed. If there is one dominant allele and one recessive allele the dominant allele overpowers the recessive. (DD) and (Dd)overpowers (dd).
How do you write dominant and recessive allels?
normally, the dominant allele is expressed as a capital letter and the recessive allele is expressed as a lowercase letter, if that's what you mean!
Is melanoma dominant or recessive?
is malignant melanoma dominant or recessive
What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
How do you xxplain dominant and recessive?
Recessive
Is AAA recessive or dominant?
recessive
What does the word dominant mean in genetics?
In genetics, "dominant" refers to an allele that will be expressed in the phenotype if present, masking the expression of the corresponding recessive allele. This means that even if an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele's phenotype will be visible.
Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.
Is restless leg dominant or recessive?
is restless leg syndrome dominant or recessive
