    Geneticists use letters to represent alleles of different characters.

    (Alleles: one of the two or more alleles of a character.)

    A single letter is used to represent both the alleles of a particular character.

    A capital letter represents a dominant allele, while a small letter represents a recessive one.

    The letters do not just have one standard representation. same letter can be used to represent different characters. However, the letters may relate to the allele. For example: the letter 'B' can be used to represent Brown eyes.
