If the heterozygote is precisely intermediate between the two homozygotes, there is no dominance. Any deviation from this additive model is described as dominance.

An allele (A) is dominant if the phenotype of the heterozygote (Aa) is the same as the homozygote (AA). The allele (a) does not influence the heterozygote's phenotype and is called recessive. An [..]

The social relationship in which certain individuals have higher prestige or power in the group, allowing them to enjoy more or better resources as well as the deference of lower ranked members.

Social structure of a group as it relates to the relative social rank of dominance status of its members. (APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 8th ed.)

A state in which one view prevails over all other views. If unexamined, the dominant view may perpetuate a situation where there is undue influence and power over an individual or group of people. Pat [..]

This is used in many contexts, but the general meaning is that something is uniformly better than something else. For example, consider two activities

In classical Mendelian genetics, the masking of the action of one allele by another. If an individual with red flowers is crossed with an individual with white flowers and all progeny have red flowers, then the allele for red pigment is fully dominant over the allele for white flowers.

The incomplete masking of the action of one allele by another. If an individual with red flowers is crossed with an individual with white flowers and all progeny have pink flowers, then the allele for red pigment is partially dominant over the allele for white flowers.

Of an allele, the extent to which it produces when heterozygous the same phenotype as when homozygous; may be contrasted with a recessive allele, one that is phenotypically detectable only when homozygous. Dominance of a species describes the extent to which it is numerically or otherwise predominant in a community.

A group of individuals in a population which has established itself in the highest position in the social hierarchy.

The phenomena in which energy flowing through an ecosystem is directed especially through a limited number of populations.

The psychological imposition of a hierarchial order in a population which determines the priority of access of individuals to essential requirements.
