Detailed explanation-1: -An allele that is dominant is always shown to be a capital letter and a recessive allele is shown to be the lowercase version of that same letter. In a simple dominant/recessive relationship, any organism that receives a dominant allele will only visibly express that allele.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dominant is always a capital letter and Recessive is always a lower-‐case letter. Here is where I write down the letters that represent my couple. Because they are heterozygous, I use one capital letter and one lower letter since they have both traits in their genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -A dominant allele is a variation of a gene that will produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles. A dominant allele typically encodes for a functioning protein. The allele is dominant because one copy of the allele produces enough enzyme to supply a cell with plenty of a given product.

Detailed explanation-4: -A capital letter represents the dominant form of a gene (allele), and a lowercase letter is the abbreviation for the recessive form of the gene (allele).
