What are organisms with the genotype tt is also know as?

two capital or two lowercase letters in the GENOTYPE (ex: TT or tt) it's also called HOMOZYGOUS.


What type of alleles are present in an organism?

Capital letters usually denote dominant alleles. Therefore QQ genotype would contain two dominant alleles for the Q genotype.


Genotype made of two different alleles?

Homozygous


Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?

No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.


What do letters in the boxes in the periodic table represent?

They are the symbols for the elements . Often they are some of the letters of the English name.For example, Si means Silicon. Silver cannot be Si as well. Therefore, we use the Latin translation, Argentium, to create Ag.

What letters are used to represent a homozygous?

Two of the same letter. For example, if you have a homozygous organism for dominant red color, then the letters to represent their genotype would be RR. However, if the red color is a recessive trait, then a homozygous organism with that trait will have the genotype rr.


What do the letters along the top and the bottom of the punnett square represent?

The letters to the left are the two alleles (the genotype) of one parent and the letters above is the other parents genotype. If the letter is capital it means the trait is dominant and if the letter is lowercase, it's recessive


What represents heterozygous A?

To represent a heterozygous genotype, you would you two DIFFERENT letters. Whether it would be lower case or upper case depends on if it's dominant or not.

Which is a heterozygous or hydrid genotype?

A heterozygous genotype consists of a dominant gene and a recessive gene. Homozygous genotypes consist of two dominant genes (Homozygous Dominant) ro two recessive genes (Homozygous Recessive).Heterozygous: XxHomozygous: Dom. XXRec. xx


What are organisms with the genotype tt is also know as?

two capital or two lowercase letters in the GENOTYPE (ex: TT or tt) it's also called HOMOZYGOUS.


Is the trait TT heterozygous or homozygous?

Yes.A homozygous genotype is a gene with two identical alleles. Recessive genes are represented by a lowercase letter. Thus, a homozygous recessive genotype would be two identical genes with lowercase letters.
