I only have basic genetic knowledge, but I'm fairly certain that a dominant allele would be indicated by an uppercase letter and a recessive one would be indicated by a lower-case one. For example, the color bi-black would be indicated as "bb" for two recessive alleles, "Bb" for one, and "BB" for only dominant alleles. Make sense? :)

How many alleles are usually in the gene pool for each trait?

Each gene has a dominate and recessive allele, so there are two types of alleles in each gene. The dominate allele is stronger than the recessive allele unless there are two recessive alleles.


Is straight hair controlled by a dominate allele or recessive allele?

Straight hair is typically controlled by a dominant allele. Curly hair is usually controlled by a recessive allele.


What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?

The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.


Recessive allele different from dominate allele?

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 letters are given in genetics to represent the dominate allele?

capital letters, such as PP equals two dominant alleles, pp equals two recessive alleles.


Are alleles dominant or recessive?

Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.


How is a recessive allele from a dominant allele?

its different because adominant allele is in charge


Is TTT an example of a homozygous recessive genotype?

No, TTT is not an example of a homozygous recessive genotype. In genetics, a homozygous recessive genotype would have two copies of the same recessive allele, such as tt. TTT would indicate a homozygous dominant genotype.

What do we call genes that are hidden when paired with a different allele in genetics?

Genes that are hidden when paired with a different allele in genetics are called recessive genes.
