Biological Dominance

Meaning

Biological dominance refers to a state where one specific biological factor, such as a hormone or a physiological pathway, exerts a disproportionately strong influence or activity within a system, often leading to an imbalance or a prevailing effect over other counterbalancing elements. This condition implies that the dominant factor’s actions are more pronounced or pervasive than is physiologically optimal, potentially altering normal homeostatic regulation.
