What else can I help you with?
Are Genes written with a capital letter?
Yes, genes are typically written with a lowercase letter.
Dominant genes are written with?
Usually with a capital letter and the recessive genes are written with a lowercase letter.
Are polygenic genes dominant genes?
Polygenic genes are usually dominant genes.
What does a capital letter such as represent in a Punnett square?
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.

What symbols do scientists use represent dominant and recessive genes?
Scientists use uppercase letters to represent dominant genes and lowercase letters to represent recessive genes. For example, "R" might represent a dominant gene for round seeds, while "r" might represent a recessive gene for wrinkled seeds.
Does prokaryotes have genes?
Of course they have genes. They need genes for survival and reproduction.
Do dominant genes affect recessive genes?
The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away
Are linked genes genes located on the same chromosome?
Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.
Are master genes and homeotic genes the same thing?
Master genes and homeotic genes are related but not the same. Homeotic genes are a specific type of master gene that regulate the development of anatomical structures in organisms, determining the identity of body parts. Master genes generally refer to genes that control the expression of other genes and play crucial roles in regulating developmental processes. Thus, while all homeotic genes are master genes, not all master genes are homeotic genes.
Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?
Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
What can affect an organism trait?
genes and the environment
