Capital letter (recessive is lowercase)
Gene pairs are typically written using standard notation that consists of two letters, representing the alleles of a gene. The first letter denotes the dominant allele, while the second letter represents the recessive allele, often in lowercase. For example, a gene pair for a trait might be written as "AA" for homozygous dominant, "Aa" for heterozygous, or "aa" for homozygous recessive. Additionally, gene pairs can be designated with superscripts or numbers to indicate variations or specific traits.
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
The dominant allele covers up or masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is typically represented by an uppercase letter, while the recessive allele is represented by a lowercase letter.
The gene defined as controlling the appearance of a specific trait is referred to as the "gene for that trait" or "trait-specific gene." These genes can influence physical characteristics like eye color, height, or leaf shape.
A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
An organism's allele pairs refer to the different forms of a gene present on each pair of homologous chromosomes. Each allele represents a variation of a particular gene and can be dominant or recessive. The combination of allele pairs determines an organism's genetic traits.

If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.

Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
The dominant allele covers up or masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is typically represented by an uppercase letter, while the recessive allele is represented by a lowercase letter.
The gene defined as controlling the appearance of a specific trait is referred to as the "gene for that trait" or "trait-specific gene." These genes can influence physical characteristics like eye color, height, or leaf shape.
A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.
