Type of letter used to represent a dominant allele?

A dominant allele is typically represented by an uppercase letter in genetics, while the corresponding recessive allele is represented by the same letter in lowercase. For example, if "B" is the dominant allele for brown eyes, "b" would be the recessive allele for blue eyes.


What type of trait prevents the other type from being seen?

A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.


What is the type of trait that is ruling called?

The ruling trait is the Dominant trait.


What type of trait that is masked or covered?

dominant


Which type of genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring?

A dominant genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring because only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed.


What is the type of trait that can be masked?

The type of trait that can be masked is known as a recessive trait. In genetics, recessive traits require two copies of the recessive allele (one from each parent) to be expressed phenotypically, while a dominant allele can overshadow or mask the expression of the recessive allele. As a result, individuals with one dominant and one recessive allele will display the dominant trait, concealing the presence of the recessive trait.


What is crossing recessive with dominant?

Crossing a recessive trait with a dominant trait involves breeding an organism that expresses the dominant phenotype with one that expresses the recessive phenotype. In genetics, the dominant trait will typically mask the expression of the recessive trait in the offspring. This can help determine the genotype of the dominant organism; if any offspring exhibit the recessive trait, the dominant parent must carry a recessive allele. This type of cross is often used in Mendelian genetics to study inheritance patterns.


How do you write the genotype for a trait?

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.


What Type AB blood having 2 genes dominant for a trait is an example for?

codominance


What blood type would a child have if the father is A plus and the mother is O plus?

The child would have A plus blood type since A blood type is a dominant trait while O blood type is a recessive trait


What typee of traits prevent the other type from being seen?

The trait that can not be seen is recessive to the one that is dominant.


How does the human blood type represent codominance?

AB blood is co-dominant.
