What form is a gene that is always expressed if present?
This is the dominate gene, and is normally represent by a capital letter. Then gene which is not expressed is the recessive gene and is represented by a lower case letter. For example the if someone had expressed a brown eyed phenotype and did not carry the gene for blue eyes it be represented as BB (B standing for Brown). If they expressed the brown eye phenotype and also carried the gene for blue eyes it would be represented as Bb (b does not stand for blue it stands for NOT BROWN) While if someone had blue eyes it would be represented as bb
What does S stand for on the periodical table of elements?
Sulphur/ Sulfur --> S (in capital letter) in the periodic table
What is phenotype for RR?
It's a genotype. The phenotype is a physical manifestation of the genotype, which means that it's what happens on the outside because an organism has the gene. An example of a phenotype would be if someone had blue eyes or something. The genotype is the two-letter abbreviation thingy.
If an organism expresses a recessive phenotype can you tell its genotype?
Yes because if the phenotype is recessive there is only one possible genotype, little letter little letter ex. rr (wrikled pea plant seed), cc (albino), tt (short pea plant) whereas if you have a dominante phenotype there are two possible genotypes, big letter big letter or big letter little letter ex. RR Rr (round pea plant seed), CC Cc (normal skin pigmentation) TT Tt (Tall Pea plant)
Which terms describes inherited traits that are visible?
phenotype
What phenotype is produced by AB genotype?
The genotype AA represents a homozygous dominant genotype. The capital letter "A" represents the dominant allele, while the lowercase letter "a" would represent the recessive allele. If both dominant alleles are present in a genotype (homozygous dominant) then the phenotype is "A" phenotype. If one dominant allele and one recessive allele are present (heterozygous dominant) then the phenotype is "A". Finally, if both recessive alleles "a" are present (homozygous recessive) then the phenotype is "a". Therefore, the answer to your question is the genotype AA would result in an "A" phenotype because the genotype is homozygous dominant.
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
When you see a phenotype such as Tt why doesn't the recessive trait show?
Actually, Tt is the way the genotype is written. The phenotype is what one (generally) sees externally.As T is dominant to t (that's why it's written as a Capital letter), it is the manifestation of T that shows up in the phenotype; assuming no co-dominance or incomplete dominance is also involved.

What does capital letter T stand for in measurement?

Do dominate traits have capital letters?
No, dominate traits do not have capital letters. The term "dominant traits" refers to the phenotype that is expressed when an individual has one dominant allele for a particular trait. It is not capitalized unless at the start of a sentence.
What does S stand for on the periodical table of elements?
Sulphur/ Sulfur --> S (in capital letter) in the periodic table
What gene pair consists of a dominant or recessive alleles?
Autosomal genes that can be expressed by Mendelian genetics. The question isn't very specific but the easiest way to determine a gene pair which consists of dominant or recessive alleles is to understand the terms. In most genotypic descriptions, the phenotype of a specific organism is represented by letters. A dominant allele controls the phenotype of the organism and is usually a capital letter. The recessive allele is usually represented by a lower case letter which may or may not be the same as the upper case. Further research will lead you to Mendelian genetics where theories such as duplicate recessive epistasis results in the lower case letter in the phenotype controlling the phenotype of the organism. Hope this helps. :-)
