What is the difference between pai-1 5g4g heterozygous and pai-1 4g4g homozygous?

PAI-1 heterozygous is an inherited blood disorder from ONE parent-ONE copy of the gene. PAI-1 Homozygous is an inherited blood disorder from BOTH parents-TWO copies of the gene.


What happens to the alleles between the P generation and the F2 generation?

In the P generation, one parent is homozygous dominant and the other parent is homozygous recessive. In the F1 generation, the product of a cross between the P generation, the offspring are all heterozygous. In the F2 generation, the product of a cross between the F1 generation, the expected result is 1/4 homozygous dominant, 1/2 heterozygous, and 1/4 homozygous recessive.

What is the ratio of heterozygous offspring to total offpring in the punnett square?

There are 3 probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.


In the F2 generation in Mendel's experiment's the ratio of dominant to recessive traits was?

3:1 homozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive.


What is the expected genotypic ratio for a one factor cross of two hybrid organisms?

1 homozygous dominant: 2 heterozygous: 1 homozygous recessive


What is an organism with 2 alleles for 1 trait that are different?

The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous-By SciienceFreak


What is a genotype and 3 possible genotypes?

Homozygous dominant (Ex:AA) Heterozygous (Ex:Aa) Homozygous recessive (Ex:aa)


Is a plant with the genotype AABbcc heterozygous for two different genes?

No, because it has the AA and the CC those are homozygous. The Bb is the only heterozygous trait, and there is only 1.


What is the genotype and phenotype of homozygous?

Are you talking about phenotype or genotype? Phenotype is the expression of the genotype. Genotype is what you inherited. Phenotype is what you see. Homozygous is the same. Heterozygous is different. If you inherit one allele for blue eyes and one allele for brown eyes, your phenotype should be brown eyes. Your genotype would be brown eyes, blue eyes. You would have a heterozygous genotype.


In crossing a homozygous recessive with a heterozygote what is the chance of getting a homozygous recessive phenotype in the F1 generation?

1/2 or 50%. The homozygous recessive gentoype contains two recessive alleles for the gene for a trait. So the homozygous recessive individual can pass on only recessive alleles to an offspring. The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.


The offspring of two parents that are heterozygous for a given trait have a percent chance of being homozygous for that trait?

This would result in 1 heterozygous offspring. You can think of it like this: If the first parent is homozygous it would have AA alleles, the second heterozygous parent would be AB. When they mix genetically it would result in 4 combinations: AA, AA, AA, AB. As there is only one B there can only be one heterozygous offspring. This is not expected it is certain.
