What kind of letter in punnett square stands for a dominant gene?
capital letter
What type of gene does small letter?
a ressecive triat
What is recessive gene and dominant gene?
A dominant gene is always expressed if present, and the recessive gene is only expressed with the homozygous recessive genotype. For example, if the dominant gene is red (represented by the letter R) and the recessive gene is white (represented by the letter r), then a homozygous dominant organism's genotype will be RR, and its phenotype will be red. If the organism is homozygous recessive, then the genotype will be rr and the phenotype will be white. If the organism is heterozygous, then the genotype will be Rr, and the organism will be red.
What do you call a letter that represents an alternative form a gene or trait?
allele!
When gene pairs are written the dominant allele has an?
Capital letter (recessive is lowercase)
What do you call is the stronger gene represented by a capital letter?
Dominant gene. The gene represented by a lower case letter is called the Recessive gene.
How do you symbolize a dominant gene?
a dominant gene is symbolized by a capital letter. a recessive gene is symbolized by a lower case letter.
What is the copy of a gene?
When a gene may be represented by the capital letter N, the gene pair is 2N.
Which type of gene or gene combination can be present in a generation without affecting phenotype?
Recessive
What is it when a gene is represented with a lowercase letter?
recessive
What kind of letter in punnett square stands for a dominant gene?
capital letter
A person with a heterozygous gene?
A person with a heterozygous gene has one dominant allele, usually represented by a capital letter, and a recessive allele, which is usually represented with a lowercase letter. So an example of a heterozygous gene would be Rr
What type of gene does small letter?
a ressecive triat
How would the dominant gene for a tall plant be written?
The dominate gene is written as a capital letter. In this case as a T.
How is it possible for a point mutation to have no effect on the function of gene?
If the point mutation does not change the protein to be translated in the 3-letter sequence, then it will have no effect on the gene's function.
What is allelic pair?
a combination of two alleles which comprise the gene pair
What does a capital letter in a punnet square represent?
A dominant gene
