How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
A recessive allele is represented by an letter?
Most of the time a recessive allele is expressed using lower case letters in comparision to the upper case dominant alleles.
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).
A genetics tool that uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles?
A punnet square uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles.
What combinations of alleles could produce a trait controlled by a recessive alleles?
recessive + recessive or tt
How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
How are Dominant and recessive alleles are represented in Punnet Square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What is the result of two recessive alleles joined?
Two recessive alleles (homozygous) will result in the recessive trait being expressed as a phenotype.
What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
How dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a Punnett Square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
What makes a dominant alleles different from a recessive alleles?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
How is recessive alleles different from dominant alleles?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
What alleles is the recessive alleles explain why?
it would be t recie
What is the term for a genotype in which there are two recessive alleles?
Homozygenous recessive.
