What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
How are Dominant and recessive alleles are represented in Punnet Square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
How dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a Punnett Square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
How is recessive alleles different from dominant alleles?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
How do dominant alleles recessive alleles differs?
Dominant alleles are the ones that show up in the phenotype. Recessive alleles do not unless both alleles are recessive, but can be passed on. For example: Tt , T=tall and t=short. Tall is dominant and short is recessive. You are tall and can pass on the short gene. Or, you can use black hair being dominant over red. Or, brown eyes being dominant over blue. Dominant can be seen on you and recessive can't.
How dominant and recessive are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What is recessive and dominant mean?
I am pretty sure the recessive and dominant alleles you are talking about are covered in Biology. Recessive alleles are basically alleles that are received from both parent's DNA that are carries, (dd). However, dominant alleles are (exactly what it says) always expressed. If there is one dominant allele and one recessive allele the dominant allele overpowers the recessive. (DD) and (Dd)overpowers (dd).
What makes a dominant alleles different from a recessive alleles?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
