A trait is a characteristic of an organism. These can be determined by the environment, genes, or interactions within the traits. A genotype is the trait being genetically passed on to the offspring.

This law tells us that in a heterozygote, one trait is going to mask the presence of another trait that holds the same characteristic. Only the dominant allele will be expressed instead of both.
