What letters are given in genetics to represent the dominate allele?

capital letters, such as PP equals two dominant alleles, pp equals two recessive alleles.


Do Geneticists use letters to represent the alleles of organisms?

Yes, geneticists use letters to represent alleles of organisms. Typically, uppercase letters are used to represent dominant alleles, and lowercase letters are used to represent recessive alleles. For example, "A" may represent a dominant allele and "a" a recessive allele for a specific gene.


What can be dominant or recessive?

Alleles can be dominant or recessive


What is the opposite of homozygous of dominant?

heterozygous recessive


What is recessive and dominant mean?

I am pretty sure the recessive and dominant alleles you are talking about are covered in Biology. Recessive alleles are basically alleles that are received from both parent's DNA that are carries, (dd). However, dominant alleles are (exactly what it says) always expressed. If there is one dominant allele and one recessive allele the dominant allele overpowers the recessive. (DD) and (Dd)overpowers (dd).


Are alleles recessive?

Alleles can be either dominant or recessive. They can be identical or different for any given gene in a somatic cell, and can represent alternative forms of a gene.


What is homazygous?

In genetics, homozygous means having two of the same allele whether it be two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.


What are the letters for homozygous dominant heterozygous and homozygous recessive?

homozygous dominant means two alleles that are the same that are capital letters, heterozygous recessive means that to alleles are different BUT the same letters in lower case. (alleles for gender) EX: TT, Tt is homozygous dominant tt, tt is heterozgous recessive


What is the difference between a herezygous and a homozygous?

"Heterozygous" and "homozygous" are terms that refer to alleles, which, in genetics determine what trait, from which parent, will appear in the offspring. Alleles can be either Dominant or Recessive. Every organism has two alleles, which can both be dominant, both recessive, or one of each.So,If an organism heterozygous, it has one recessive and one dominant allele.If an organism is homozygous then both of its alleles are the same; you need to specify if they are homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive) or homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant).
