Geneticists use probability to predict possible genotypes and phenotypes

A punnet square uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles.
capital letters, such as PP equals two dominant alleles, pp equals two recessive alleles.
well it depends on the letters that you are given, recessive alleles are ALWAYS lower case.An example answer would be: ss, where s would represent the recessive allele.
The letters represent the alleles, or variations, of a given trait. So for example T might represent tall and t represents short. The capital letter always corresponds to the dominant trait and the lowercase letter corresponds to the recessive trait.
Genotypes are written with two letters to represent the two alleles inherited from each parent. The letters represent different forms of a gene, with one letter from the mother and one from the father, to show the genetic composition of an individual for a particular trait.
The letters on the outside of the Punnett square stand for the alleles of each parent. One parent's alleles are written across the top of the square, and the other parent's alleles are written along the left side of the square. The pairs of alleles inside the square represent all the possible genotypes for their offspring.
a pair of recessive genes
Genotype TT is called a homozygous genotype. The TT indicates identical alleles, and the capital letters represent their dominant trait.
well it depends on the letters that you are given, recessive alleles are ALWAYS lower case.An example answer would be: ss, where s would represent the recessive allele.
Two letters which represent that parent's traits. They might be called alleles (its been a while).
