In a punnet square a small letter stands for what type of allele?
A small letter stands for a recessive allele.
What does a capital letter such as T represent in a pundit Square?
A capital letter in a Punnet Square represents a dominate allele.
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.
What does a punnet square capital letter stand for?
A capital letter in a punnet square stands for a domminant trait, or one that will most likely appear. --Stew Pidacel
What is a chart that shows all possible allele combination resulting from a genetic cross?
A Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the possible genotypes of offspring in a genetic cross. It displays all possible combinations of alleles that parents can pass on to their offspring.
What does a capital letter in a punnet square represent?
A dominant gene
In a punnet square a capital letter t stands for?
recessive
What do the letter on the outside of the punnet square stand for?
They stand for the parents alleles
In a Punnett square a capital letter stands for a allele.?
Capital letters on Punnett Squares represent dominant genes, while lowercase letters represent recessive genes. For example, if the trait "T" is a tall gene and the trait "t" is a short gene. When you get your results (if both parents are heterozygous for tallness, Tt) you get four possible results, 1 TT (homozygous tall), 2 Tt (twice, heterozygous tall Tt), and 1 tt (homozygous short). If there is a dominant gene there, that gene will be displayed. Only if there are two recessive genes will the recessive trait be displayed.
How do you work a punnet square?
A punnet square is a box of 4 sections
How do you read a Punnet Square?
Reading a punnet square is much like reading a grid map. Start with one finger on the father allele and one on the mother allele and find where they meet in the middle, the combination of both the father allele and the mother allele will give you the genotype. Repeat for all four middle squares. In all punnet squares, the dominate gene is the capital letter (e.g R) and the recessive gene is the normal letter (e.g r). When two dominate alleles show (RR) the phenotype will show the dominate gene. When one dominate and one recessive allele show the dominate gene will still show (Rr), in females they call it them a carrier female because they carry the recessive allele as well. When two recessive alleles show (rr) the recessive feature will show in the phenotype.
What is a non-example for a punnet square?
A banana is a good example of a punnet square since it has absolutely nothing to do with a punnet square.
