Dominant trait a trait that will appear in the offspring if one of the parents contributes it. In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only form of the trait will appear in the next generation. All heterozygous & express only the dominant trait. Mendel called the observed trait dominant and the one that disappeared recessive. Dominant alleles are symbolized with a capital letter.
Dominant traits were very simple for me to learn. It was harder for other people. I just had to think that dominant is top and it was easier to understand punnet squares and other ways of figuring out what is dominant and what is not. Once you learn dominant traits and understand them you will be able to understand everything else more clearly.
I like the way you explained the dominant traits, and used your own words. I also like how you related the concept to your life and explained how you learned it. The only thing I would add is a more clear reflection.
