Genotypes are written differently depending on what gene you are referring to.
A capital letter means that allele is dominant over an allele written with a lower case letter. For example B is dominant over b.
Some genotypes are written using a superscript, such as IAIB for the genotype of a person with blood type AB. Or HbsHbs for a person with sickle cell anaemia (compared to HbSHbS for a person without sickle cell). In this case Hb stands for haemoglobin.
Usually the letters chosen relate to the trait involved... for example, if talking about tall plants T would be used to represent the tall allele and t would represent the short allele.

A trait that is masked by a dominant trait is called?
DNAactually it is not DNA at all, a dominant trait, masks a recessive trait.
Condition of being heterozygous for a recessive trait?
If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle is written as the equation p2 2pq q2 1. What does p represent?
The frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype.
What is a compound trait?

What does it mean if there is two different alleles for a trait?
The trait could show up in two different forms. Alleles are individual units that determine what trait will be expressed in an offspring. Alleles exist for most traits such as hair color or wing size. Having two alleles simply means that the trait can be expressed in different variation. One trait can have several different alleles.
What is the genetic composition determining a trait?
Genotype is the genetic makeup of a trait.
What contains a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
Genotype
Is a genotype?
A genotype is an organism's combination of genes that forms a trait.
What a genotype?
A genotype is an organism's combination of genes that forms a trait.

Is a gene a genotype that is not mixed?
No. A gene is a part of the DNA that identifies the outcome of a certain trait or part of a trait. A genotype is the actual definition of the gene for each individual.
What is responsible for an acquired trait?
Genotype
What is the genotype of a man who has sickle cell trait?
rr since sickle cell is a recessive trait.
What is the expression of a trait and is determined by the combination of alleles?
The expression of a specific trait in an individual (such as hair color) is determined by two factors,one from each parent. These factors are represented with an uppercase letter for a dominantfactor and a lowercase letter for a recessive factor. The combination of these factors determineshow that trait will be expressed in an individual.
Are phenotype and genotype traits the same?
Phenotype and genotype traits don't always have to be the same. Phenotype is the physical characteristics and genotype is the genetic makeup. For example a pea plant can have the genotype of TT and look tall while another plant can have a genotype of Tt and also look tall (T= dominant trait; t= recessive trait.)
When can the phenotype tell you genotype of a trait?
The phenotype can tell the genotype when the characteristic is recessive and is displayed in the individual.
