What following genotypes will express a dominant trait?
For a dominant trait to be expressed, you either need a RR or an Rr genotype. The other genotype, rr, is recessive only. In genetics, capital letters represent a dominant allele, and lower case letters represent the recessive allele.
Where are the effects o f a dominant allele seen?
it is present (shown) whenever it is present ( see Punnett Square) it will overthrow a recessive allele as long as it is there. it's effect is that you will get a certain trait for that allele. A Punnett Squar will help you the most.
What does a capital letter such as T represent in a pundit Square?
A capital letter in a Punnet Square represents a dominate allele.
Dominate allele will mask any other allele that is considered what?

Why is a dominate allele called dominant?

Why is a dominant allele called dominate?
because it dominates the phenotype
What happens when a ressive allele meetsup with a dominate allele?
The genotype is said to be heterozygous and the dominant trait will be expressed in the individual.
How many alleles are usually in the gene pool for each trait?
Each gene has a dominate and recessive allele, so there are two types of alleles in each gene. The dominate allele is stronger than the recessive allele unless there are two recessive alleles.
