Here's why:
* DNA is the blueprint of life, containing the genetic code. It's the physical material that genes are made of.
* Genes are segments of DNA that code for specific traits.
* Dominant genes are those that express their trait even when paired with a recessive gene. The recessive gene's trait is masked.
For example, if a plant has a gene for purple flowers (dominant) and a gene for white flowers (recessive), the plant will have purple flowers.
