The phrase "a dominant trait" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions about genetics, psychology, or any context where certain characteristics are more prevalent or influential than others.
Example: "In pea plants, the ability to produce yellow seeds is a dominant trait over the green seed color."
Alternatives: "a prevailing characteristic" or "a leading attribute."
Individuals with autosomal dominant disorders show a wide spectrum of disease severity, and carriers of a dominant trait may even appear asymptomatic.
Mrs. Clinton is surely not the first candidate to have made that discovery, but friends say she found it unnerving, and it served to reinforce what has always been a dominant trait: her sense of caution.
A male with a dominant trait crossed to a female with a recessive trait gives uniformly dominant F1 and a segregation in a ratio of 2 dominant males : 1 dominant female : 1 recessive female.
Classical genetics, which remains the foundation for all other areas in genetics, is concerned primarily with the method by which genetic traits classified as dominant (always expressed), recessive (subordinate to a dominant trait), intermediate (partially expressed), or polygenic (due to multiple genes)—are transmitted in plants and animals.
For example, a dominant trait will have phenotypic expression even if inherited from only one parent, but to have such expression, a recessive trait must be inherited from both.
3) Because the activated genes usually provide a dominant trait, we may use the segregation ratio to search for candidate mutant lines caused by integration but not somaclonal variation.
Nevertheless, silencing was shown to be a reversible dominant trait, operative in heterokaryotic strains containing a mixture of transgenic and non-transgenic nuclei, which suggests that a diffusable, trans-acting mobile RNA signal is involved [ 38, 44].
DYT1 dystonia is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with a reduced penetrance of ~30%.
The analysis was performed under the assumption that the condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with a penetrance of 90% at all ages.
Notably, polycystic liver disease can also occur isolated as an autosomal dominant trait with a mutation in either PRKCSH or SEC63.
Greying with age in horses is an autosomal dominant trait, associated with a gradual loss of hair pigmentation, a high incidence of melanoma and vitiligo-like depigmentation.
