Question
which of the following terms describe a trait that is represented by a capital letter and is always expressed?
dominant
recessive
allele
genotype
In genetics, a dominant trait is represented by a capital letter and is always expressed when present in the genotype (either as a homozygous - dominant \(AA\) or heterozygous \(Aa\) condition). A recessive trait (lower - case letter) is only expressed when in the homozygous - recessive \(aa\) state. An allele is one of the alternative forms of a gene. A genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism (combination of alleles).
