A species of fly has two alleles for the length of their legs. The allele for long legs is dominant and is represented by p. The allele for short legs is recessive and is represented by q. If 12 of 10?

Are big ears a dominant trait?
Big ears in some species are considered to be a dominant trait. In other species having big ears is a recessive trait.
Why is it difficult to determine the genotype of an organism that has a dominant phenotype?
NO, because a dominant phenotype could either be homozygous or a heterozygous.so unless you are sure about the genotype of parents we can't determine it...but we can determine the genotype of a person showing reccessive phenotype, as a recessive trait always expresses itself in a homozygous condition...
What are the fixed alleles in the human species?
alleles that everyone has
What is principle of dominance and recessiveness?
The law of dominance is Mendels Law, which is a principal in genetics limited and modified by subsquent discovery of the phenemonon of linkage. The law of dominance is Mendels Law, which is a principal in genetics limited and modified by subsquent discovery of the phenemonon of linkage.
How many alleles does a gene pool have?
Many possible alleles exist for a gene, but a diploid cell contains only two alleles of each gene or two copies of a single allele. Diploid refers to the number of chromosomes that a cell has.
What are dominant species?
Biomass is a measurement of dominance in an ecosystem. A dominant species is a species that has a community impact that is proportional to its biomass. For example an elephant is a dominant species because it has a large biomass and a large impact on its community, by converting dense woodlands to grasslands that burns more readily and allows for necessary disturbance. The higher a species are up on the food chain, the more dominant they are, as they have an impact on the species lower in the food chain.
What letters represent the alleles?
Dominant AllelesUsually dominant alleles are represented as capital letters, whereas recessive alleles are represented by the lowercase letter. Presumably, the capital letter will help you remember which is which -- dominant correlates with capital. However, you can assign alleles whatever letter, number, or symbol you want - as long as it produces the same genotype and phenotype ratio. The symbols/letters that are created for Punnett Squares or another process are purely for organizational purposes. Think of it this way: if you have a heterozygous organism that mates with a homozygous organism of the same species, how will you find the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? Well, you certainly aren't going to figure it out abstractly in your head. Assigning letters to dominant/recessive alleles is just to keep track of where the alleles are possibly going and the results. If you want the dominant allele to be "R" and the recessive allele to be "r", then that's perfectly acceptable. And if you want to represent the dominant allele with a Batman symbol and the recessive allele with a radioactive symbol, then that's fine too... as long as you know that the Batman symbol represents the dominant allele and the radioactive allele the recessive.
Why do recessive trail are more common in some cases?
They're not necessarily, but they can be. When a recessive trait is more common, it likely because it was advantageous to have that trait so the species evolved to have more of it in the gene pool. Also, since dominant traits are expressed over recessive traits, natural selection has more of an effect on them.
Are big ears a dominant trait?
Big ears in some species are considered to be a dominant trait. In other species having big ears is a recessive trait.
Why is it possible that a majority of people may display a recessive trait?
A recessive trait can be masked by a dominant trait in individuals who are heterozygous. Thus, a majority of people may appear to display the dominant trait even if they are carriers of the recessive trait. Only when two carriers of the recessive trait have children together is there a chance for the recessive trait to become visible in the offspring.
How is a species defined.?
By the fixed alleles in the species
What is the dominant species?
Exercising the most influence or control.

What is the difference between purebred organism and a hybrid?
A purebred organism is the offspring of two homozygous parents, having either two dominant alleles, AA or two recessive alleles, aa. A hybrid is the offspring of two heterozygous parents, Aa.
