What are dominant genes?

A

Each genes come in different variant. Ex. Brown vs blue eyes. An individual receive 2 copy of each gene, one from his mom and one from is dad. If both copy of the gene are of the same variant, this variant will be express. If both copy are of different variant, only the dominant one will express itself. For exemple: Brown eyes genes express themselves at the expense of the genes that determine other eye colors.

Are dominant genes always more commun.
