Answer:

Dominant is used to explain the trait that will be seen, ie the phenotype, in the given organism.

Step-by-step explanation:

In genetics, traits generally follow rules of dominant and recessive. And example is brown eye color is dominant over green eye color. So, if an individual has a gene for brown and green eyes, they will have brown eye color.
