Key Stage 4
Meaning
A Dominant allele is an allele which can be expressed in the phenotype when there is only one copy of that allele.
About Dominant Alleles
- When a genotype includes one dominant allele and one recessive allele the physical appearance of the person will be based on the dominant allele.
- In a Punnett Square or Genetic Cross Diagram dominant alleles are written with a capital letter while the recessive alleles are written with a lower case letter.
