Front

What is a Dominant Allele?

Back

A dominant allele is an allele that masks the effect of a recessive allele in a homologous pair, typically represented by a capital letter.

Front

What is a Punnett square?

Back

A Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the genetic outcomes of a cross between two individuals.
