Genetic Nomenclature Wild-type allele: most frequent allele for a gene, “the standard”, designated by superscript “+” Mutant allele: allele that is not wild-type Wild-type allele is not always dominant over a mutant allele. w w+ white eyes (recessive) wild-type (dominant) Cy curly wings (dominant) Cy+ wild-type (recessive) Genetic Nomenclature Allele designation is sometimes historical. The name of a gene is often based on mutations for the trait. Cy is the gene for curly wings in Drosophila. Wild-type phenotype is straight wings. w is the gene for white eyes in Drosophila. Wild-type phenotype is brick-red eyes. Genetic Nomenclature Aa is equivalent to A/a to describe a genotype. “/” is used to show that “A” allele and “a” allele are associated with homologous chromosomes “A” is on one homologue, “a” is on the other homologue. Aa Bb is equivalent to A/a ; B/b where “;” is used to indicate that the two genes (locus A and locus B) are on two different chromosomes (different sets of homologues).
