What else can I help you with?
What type of letter do you use to represent a dominant trait?
Capital letter such as R for dominant and r for recessive trait
What is the letter that represents a recessive allele?
The letter that represents a recessive allele is typically a lowercase letter, such as "a" or "b." In genetics, uppercase letters are commonly used to represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles.
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.
In a Punnett square a capital letter stands for a allele.?
Capital letters on Punnett Squares represent dominant genes, while lowercase letters represent recessive genes. For example, if the trait "T" is a tall gene and the trait "t" is a short gene. When you get your results (if both parents are heterozygous for tallness, Tt) you get four possible results, 1 TT (homozygous tall), 2 Tt (twice, heterozygous tall Tt), and 1 tt (homozygous short). If there is a dominant gene there, that gene will be displayed. Only if there are two recessive genes will the recessive trait be displayed.
What do the letters represent in punnett square crosses?
The letters represent the alleles, or variations, of a given trait. So for example T might represent tall and t represents short. The capital letter always corresponds to the dominant trait and the lowercase letter corresponds to the recessive trait.
To represent a trait to be crossed do you always use capital letter for dominant trait?
Yes
What letter is used to represent Straight Thumb trait?
The dominant trait is hitchhiker's thumb and the letter is H, and the recessive trait straight thumb is h
What type of letter do you use to represent a dominant trait?
Capital letter such as R for dominant and r for recessive trait
What allele pair represent dominant traits?
2 capital letter together represents a dominant trait. Ex... (PP)
What is the letter that represents a recessive allele?
The letter that represents a recessive allele is typically a lowercase letter, such as "a" or "b." In genetics, uppercase letters are commonly used to represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles.

How did Gregor Mendel represent factors for dominant traits?
Gregor Mendel represented factors for dominant traits as uppercase letters in his experiments with pea plants. He used a capital letter to symbolize the dominant allele for a specific trait and a lowercase letter to symbolize the recessive allele.
What does a capital letter in phenotype stand for?
A capital letter in a phenotype typically stands for the dominant allele or trait. This means that if an organism has at least one copy of the dominant allele, the corresponding trait will be expressed.
What letters are used to represent a homozygous?
Two of the same letter. For example, if you have a homozygous organism for dominant red color, then the letters to represent their genotype would be RR. However, if the red color is a recessive trait, then a homozygous organism with that trait will have the genotype rr.
Type of letter used to represent a dominant allele?
A dominant allele is typically represented by an uppercase letter in genetics, while the corresponding recessive allele is represented by the same letter in lowercase. For example, if "B" is the dominant allele for brown eyes, "b" would be the recessive allele for blue eyes.
