Detailed explanation-1: -The inheritance of this trait can be attributed to multifactorial inheritance, where traits are determined by a combination of many genes and environmental factors. As you’ve noticed, dominant does not mean common. Dominant just means that it’ll win out over recessive. How common a trait is has nothing to do with this.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dominant traits are not always the most common. Some people may think that dominant trait is the most likely to be found in the population, but the term “dominant” only refers to the fact that the allele is expressed over another allele.
Detailed explanation-3: -The trait that first appears or is visibly expressed in the organism is called the dominant trait. The trait that is present at the gene level but is masked and does not show itself in the organism is called the recessive trait.
