How would you describe dominant in a different way then this? In a easy way?

Refers to a trait that appears more frequently than another trait, resulting from interactions between gene alleles.

Answer:

A dominant allele is a variation of a gene that will produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles. A dominant allele typically encodes for a functioning protein. The allele is dominant because one copy of the allele produces enough enzyme to supply a cell with plenty of a given product.
