A dwarf plant cannot have a dominant allele because it has recessive genes. You should look at the genotype, punnett square, of a dwarf plant for the probability of the dwarf plant having a dominant allele. :):):):) hoped this helped, otherwise, sorry! did my best....
The traits inherited depends upon the alleles that have been passed on from the father and mother.The traits that are exhibited is called as the phenotype. Dominant allele needs only one copy to be expressed.For example in a pea plant "T" represents the tall dominant allele and "t" the short recessive allele .TT - when there are two dominant alleles the pea plant will express the tall trait. The pea plant is tall.Tt - when there is one dominant and one recessive allele the pea plant will still express the tall trait.In this case the dominant allele masks the recessive allele and the pea plant is still tall.tt - when there are two recessive alleles the pea plant will express the recessive trait and the pea plant is short.For a recessive trait to show up there should be a pair of recessive alleles.
A lethal dominant gene prohibits the organism from reproducing irregardless of the paired gene, so it is removed from the gene pool as soon as it appears. A lethal recessive gene, on the other hand, does not prevent reproduction unless it is paired with another lethal recessive, so it may be passed down through many generations before becoming paired and preventing reproduction.
Intuitively, natural selection should eliminate these lethal genetic disorders from the population.....However, natural selection does not act on the genotype of an individual, but on the phenotype. Many of these lethal genetic disorders are the product of two "recessive alleles" that were masked in the parents with a "dominant allele."
When crosses were made taking into account two dominant charater in a parent with another parent having racessive genes for those characters, in F1 generation all plants had dominant characters but in F2 generation, on self-pollination, the segregation in both the characters were observed independent of each other.
If smooth peas are dominant over wrinkled peas, the allele for smooth peas should be represented as a capital S.
In a Punnett square, a capital letter denotes the dominant allele and a lowercase letter denotes the recessive allele.
It should be a dominant allele--a dominant allele's trait will be expressed over the recessive allele's trait.

Autosomal recessive alleles ( both males and females) and X-linked alleles in females always express themselves in homozygous condition. On other hand, X -chromosome linked recessive allele express singly in males.

Dominant Allele
If both parents are O+ve, it means they have i allele, which is a recessive allele. For a person to have A+ve blood group, IA allele should be present. But in case of both parents being O+ve, there is no possibility that either of the parents carry the IA allele since it is a dominant allele. Thus the child would have to be O+ve.
A lethal dominant gene prohibits the organism from reproducing irregardless of the paired gene, so it is removed from the gene pool as soon as it appears. A lethal recessive gene, on the other hand, does not prevent reproduction unless it is paired with another lethal recessive, so it may be passed down through many generations before becoming paired and preventing reproduction.
It helps if you know how to set up the problem in a Punnett square and look at the results. For now, let's just say that for a dihybrid cross is between a plant with green, wrinkled seeds and one with yellow round seeds. The traits of green (G) is dominant over yellow(g) and round (R) is dominant over wrinkled (r). If the traits were "connected" then the offspring should be one or the other of the parental types. But in reality, you'll get plants with green, smooth seeds as well, since a plant with one "R" allele is all that's necessary to produce a plant with the dominant round seeds. And if the cross was between two heterozygous plants (GgRr x GgRr all with the phenotype of green round seeds), the offspring will be a mix of plants with a ratio of 9 green and round to 3 green and wrinkled, to 3 yellow and smooth, to 1 yellow and wrinkled. So if 1600 offspring were produced, there would be approximately 900 with both characteristics showing the dominant phenotype, 300 wit just one trait being dominant, 300 with the opposite trait being dominant, and 100 with neither dominant characteristic instead of all being the dominant characteristics like the parents. Or 50/50. So this shows that the chromosomes that carry these characteristics are independent of each other.

A dominant Allele is written YY or Homo dominant. That is completely dominant and no recessive. Yy is half or hetro dominant. Forgive me for it has been a while since i talked and brushed on this. Homo recessive is yy. You should and would never see yY. it is written Yy.
