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 is a punnett square and what does it tell you?
A punnett square is a device used to predict the different allele composition of offspring from the cross of two individuals.
How is a dominant trait represented in a punnett square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
Is a chart used to show the possible outcomes of allele combinations that parents can pass on to their offspring.?
Punnett Square
What is a punnet square used for?
The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach, and is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype. The Punnett square is a summary of every possible combination of one maternal allele with one paternal allele for each gene being studied in the cross.
What is a diagram used by biologists to predict the outcome of a genetic cross?
punnett square (:
What does the capital letter in a Punnett square represent?
In a Punnett square, a capital letter represents a dominant allele.
What allele is represented by capital letters?
In a Punnett square, a capital letter denotes the dominant allele and a lowercase letter denotes the recessive allele.
What kind of letter in punnett square stands for a dominant gene?
capital letter
What does a capital letter such as T represent in a pundit Square?
A capital letter in a Punnet Square represents a dominate allele.
Where are the effects o f a dominant allele seen?
it is present (shown) whenever it is present ( see Punnett Square) it will overthrow a recessive allele as long as it is there. it's effect is that you will get a certain trait for that allele. A Punnett Squar will help you the most.

Punnet squares show all possible allele combinations resulting from a genetic cross
What is punnette squares?
A Punnett square is a square that represents possible allele combinations for the result of a cross.
What comes before a recessive allele when determining the genotype of a offspring in a punnett square?
dominant allele before a recessive trait
