Normally a dominant allele is represented by a capital letter. It can be any letter used.
Example;
Brown hair is dominant and blond is recessive. B represents the dominant allele (brown) and b represents the recessive (blond) in Bb.
You can have any combination of two alleles; BB, Bb, or bb. BB would have brown hair, Bb would have brown hair or a mix, and bb would have blond hair.
Instead of B we could have used T or any other letter.

What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
What is caused by a dominant allele located on an autosome?
The dominant allele will cause the appearance of the phenotype that this dominant allele represents...
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, they are different. A recessive allele gets its name because when in the presence of a dominant allele, it will "recede" and not show, hence the name for the dominant allele.
If and individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele will the recessive allele show up?
YES ALWAYS!!! Even if you have for example, Aa (A being the dominant allele and a being the recessive allele) that trait will always be dominant!
Allele that is always expressed if present?
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.
What stands for a dominant allele?
a CAPITAL letter
What stands for recess?
a recessive allele is shown using a lower case letter a dominant allele is shown using a capital letter
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
What is caused by a dominant allele located on an autosome?

What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
Which is the dominant allele?
The dominant allele is the trait that shows up in the organism when the allele is present
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?

What is it Dominant allele What is a recessive allele?
A genotype in which there are both a dominant and a recessive allele is called heterozygous.
What is a dominent allele?
A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.
If and individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele will the recessive allele show up?
YES ALWAYS!!! Even if you have for example, Aa (A being the dominant allele and a being the recessive allele) that trait will always be dominant!
What is am example of a dominant allele?
A dominant allele is the allele which expresses itself morphologically.for example;the dimple on your cheek.your mom has a dimple whereas your father doesn't have it .but you too possess it.then ,your mother's allele serves to be the dominant allele.
