(#12) Broad Lips
As with long eyelashes, many people seem to want a set of full, luscious lips. Lucky for them, broad lips are in fact dominant. Certain groups - those from hot climates - display this trait more commonly than others.
Thin lips and small nostrils help the body retain heat, which makes them genetically advantageous in cold climates.

(#13) Widow's Peak Hairline
A widow's peak is a v-shaped point in the middle of a hairline, and a genetically dominant trait. There are no definitive studies on the commonness of this trait worldwide, and previous estimates vary wildly from as little as 3% of the population to as much as 81% exhibiting the trait.
Maybe geneticists disagreeing about everything is a dominant trait.

(#2) Dark Hair
The vast majority of people in the world have black or brown hair. These colors are genetically dominant to all other hair shades. More than half the US population has brown or black hair; in certain races and ethnicities, as much as 98% of people have dark hair.

(#14) Bent Pinkie
A bent pinky is a genetically dominant trait. Most of us have pinkies that curl imperceptibly towards the ring finger. For most people, it's not serious, or even that noticeable, but for about one percent of the global population, it can be a genuine issue.

About This Tool
Dominant genes refer to genes that can show traits in a pair of heterozygotes controlled by genes for relative traits or genes that have a decisive effect on the traits. On the contrary, if there is no trait, it is a recessive gene. Biology analyzes dominant genes have a variety of reasons, dominant mutation can induce a function in the cell, this function is either very beneficial or very harmful.
Common dominant genes include the color of eyes and hair. However, dominant genes may also carry genetic diseases. The random tool lists 14 common dominant genes in humans that you can find in your own body.
