In a Punnett square, a capital letter represents a dominant allele.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of letter in punnett square stands for a dominant gene?
capital letter
What do the letters represent in punnett square crosses?
The letters represent the alleles, or variations, of a given trait. So for example T might represent tall and t represents short. The capital letter always corresponds to the dominant trait and the lowercase letter corresponds to the recessive trait.
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.
What does a capital letter such as T represent in a pundit Square?
A capital letter in a Punnet Square represents a dominate allele.
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 does a capital letter in a punnet square represent?
A dominant gene
What goes on the outside of a Punnett Square?
On the outside of the Punnett Square you put the genotype or two alleles of the parents.
What allele is represented by capital letters?
In a Punnett square, a capital letter denotes the dominant allele and a lowercase letter denotes the recessive allele.
What is the name of the square used to illustrate the genetic crossing of parents phenotype?
Punnett square
What does a small letter in a punnett square means?
recessive
What is represented by a pair of lowercase letters such as yt In a punnett square?
a pair of recessive genes
What are the letters of the punnett square called?
The letters in a Punnett square represent the alleles for a particular gene. Typically, uppercase letters are used to represent dominant alleles, while lowercase letters represent recessive alleles. The letters are combined to show possible genetic outcomes in offspring.
