How do you use a punnett square?

Its for genotype, dominant, and recessive


How do you use recessive allele in a sentence?

The building blocks of our genes (that make us what we are) are called alleles and these can be either dominant, recessive or codominant - which means they are equally dominant. Now for your sentence: "A typical example of codominance can be found in blood types, where the existence of A as well as B alleles in a person will lead to blood type AB".


How do dominant alleles recessive alleles differs?

Dominant alleles are the ones that show up in the phenotype. Recessive alleles do not unless both alleles are recessive, but can be passed on. For example: Tt , T=tall and t=short. Tall is dominant and short is recessive. You are tall and can pass on the short gene. Or, you can use black hair being dominant over red. Or, brown eyes being dominant over blue. Dominant can be seen on you and recessive can't.


How do genetics represent h dominant and Recessive allele?

A dominant genotype is represented as DD or Dd but with many different letters. The DD is a homozygous dominant, while the Dd is the heterozygous dominant. Recessive is always represented as dd or rr or whatever letter you want to use. It is always homozygous recessive. There can never be a heterozygous recessive.


What is the only way a recessive trait will be expressed?

Breed/use only organisms showing the recessive trait for starters. If one of the parents or progenitor lines show the dominant trait then don't use their offspring. If the offspring of one of the oranisims show the dominant trait then remove both the parent of this offspring and this offspring showing the dominant trait from your program.

Why is it not necessary when the dominant and recessive traits are known to use the term homozygous when referring to the genotype of an individual that has a recessive phenotype?

An organism with a recessive allele from a particular form of a trait will exhibit that form only when the dominant allele for the trait is not present.


Is blood type o recessive or dominant?

O is the most recessive blood type. And RH- negative is recessive. There are a limited number of Blood Type Combinations. AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, OO. Blood Type can be determined with some certainty by using a Pundit Square. EXAMPLE AO x OO would result in First Filial Progeny of 50% AO and 50% OO. or AA x BO would result in FIrst Filial Progeny of 50% AO and 50% AB.

How do you use dominant allele in a sentence'?

The dominant allele overpowers a recessive allele, therefore when the two are combined (heterozygous) the phenotype of the organism becomes whatever the dominant allele represents.


What is a genotype with one dominant and one recessive gene?

The genotype of a person with one dominate allele for a gene and one recessive would be expressed as Aa or Yy. You can use any letter you would like except one will be shown as a capital (dominate) and one as a lower case (recessive). This combination is heterozygous for that trait.


How would you label the dominant trait?

You would use a capital letter. And for the recessive a lower case. For example. Brown hair is dominant over blonde. B for Brown (the dominant) And b for Blonde (the recessive)
