The capital letters refer to the dominant gene or trait. The lower case letters are the recessive one, which means it is not as prominent in the new offspring when the two letters are combined. For example, the right handed trait would be the dominant one and would be a capital letter on the Punnett square, while the left handed trait would be lower case because it is recessive.

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.

What system did Reginald Punnet invent for predicting when certain traits would appear?
The Punnett square.
What is represented by a pair of lowercase letters such as yt In a punnett square?
a pair of recessive genes
What represented by a pair of lowercase letters such as tt In a Punnett square?
a pair of recessive genes
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 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.
What are the letters of the punnett square called?
The letters in a Punnett square represent the alleles for a particular gene. Typically, uppercase letters are used to represent dominant alleles, while lowercase letters represent recessive alleles. The letters are combined to show possible genetic outcomes in offspring.
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 do the letters along the top and the bottom of the punnett square represent?
The letters to the left are the two alleles (the genotype) of one parent and the letters above is the other parents genotype. If the letter is capital it means the trait is dominant and if the letter is lowercase, it's recessive
What does the capital letter in a Punnett square represent?
In a Punnett square, a capital letter represents a dominant 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 is represented by a pair of lowercase letter such as tt in a punnett square?
a pair of recessive genes
How dominant and recessive are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
