    4. The A allele is dominant to the a allele.

    Explanation:

    In genetics, the dominant allele which is expressed when present in single or two copies is always written with an upper case letter. The corresponding allele whose expression is prevented in the presence of the dominant allele is written in the "lower case letter". This is called recessive allele. In the given genotype, one copy of "A" and one copy of "a" is present. This means that the allele written with upper case letter "A" is dominant over the allele "a". Nothing can be said about the genetic trait regulated by these two alleles of a gene.
