You decide that. All you have to do is define them before you start. The dominant gene is denoted by a capital letter, the recessive one by a lower case letter. It is better to pick a letter which has different forms for the capital and lower case letters (like A and a; not S and s).

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.
Which alleles is the recessive alleles?
recessive alleles are the ones with small letters, for example in Rr, the recessive is the r.
A genetics tool that uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles?
A punnet square uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles.
A recessive allele is represented by an letter?
Most of the time a recessive allele is expressed using lower case letters in comparision to the upper case dominant alleles.
What are the letters for homozygous dominant heterozygous and homozygous recessive?
homozygous dominant means two alleles that are the same that are capital letters, heterozygous recessive means that to alleles are different BUT the same letters in lower case. (alleles for gender) EX: TT, Tt is homozygous dominant tt, tt is heterozgous recessive
How do you record dominant and recessive alleles?
You record dominant alleles with capital letters and recessives with lower case letters.
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.
Which alleles is the recessive alleles?
recessive alleles are the ones with small letters, for example in Rr, the recessive is the r.
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')
A genetics tool that uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles?
A punnet square uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles.
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.
A recessive allele is represented by an letter?
Most of the time a recessive allele is expressed using lower case letters in comparision to the upper case dominant alleles.
What letters are given in genetics to represent the dominate allele?
capital letters, such as PP equals two dominant alleles, pp equals two recessive alleles.
Do Geneticists use letters to represent the alleles of organisms?
yes
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 are the letters for heterozygous?
Actually, there aren't specific letters. The letters depend on the alleles. For example, if the alleles are A and a, then Aa would be heterozygous, since hetero means different. Homozygous, however, would be two of the same alleles, since homo means same. The homozygous would be AA or AA in this example. hope this helped!
What are the letters for homozygous dominant heterozygous and homozygous recessive?
homozygous dominant means two alleles that are the same that are capital letters, heterozygous recessive means that to alleles are different BUT the same letters in lower case. (alleles for gender) EX: TT, Tt is homozygous dominant tt, tt is heterozgous recessive
