What is meant by a dominant allele?
Generic Crosses
A genetic cross looks at the alleles of the parents.
Probability can be expressed as a ratio (1:3), a percentage (25%), or a fraction (1/4).
Always use capital letters for dominant and lowercase for recessive alleles.
If an allele is dominant, you only need one copy of it to show that characteristic.
