How do two heterozygous organisms produce on offspring with a recessive phenotype?

There are two forms of Homozygous inheritance: Homozygous Dominant, and Homozygous Recessive. In order for two parents that are Homozygous to produce a Heterozygous offspring, one of them MUST be Homozygous Dominant, and the other MUST be Homozygous Recessive.


What crosses will result in dominant phenotype offspring?

Don't give us the options then!! If one parent had 2 dominant genes then all offspring would have dominant phenotype, the same goes for both parents having dominant genes.


Are the offspring of parents who are both homozygous dominant for normal red blood cells in danger of getting sickle-cell anamia and why?

Because the disease is rare in sickle-cell


The probability of a homozygous recessive offspring resulting from a cross between two homozygous dominant individual is?

It depends on the parents. The parent could have two dominant genes which would give a 0% chance of the offspring being recessive. The only way that the offspring could have a recessive characteristic is if the both parents have one dominant and one recessive gene, a 25% chance. The chance that both parents would pass on the recessive gene (if they have one dominant and recessive gene) is also 25%, because there is a 50% chance for each parent.


What is the difference between a homozygous trait and a heterozygous trait and can you please provide an example for each?

a homozygous trait is when an offspring has either both dominant genes or both recessive genes from its parents. a heterozygous trait is when an offspring has both dominant and recessive genes. for example: a long-tailed cat is dominant and a short-tailed cat is recessive. the long-tailed cat (homozygous dominant) had offsprings with the short-tailed cat (homozygous recessive). by doing the punnett square, 100% of their offspring will be heterozygous.

How can offspring inherit a recessive trait?

An offspring can inherit a recessive trait if both of its parents are homozygous for the dominant allele.

What phenotype is produce by each of the following genotypes?

The genotype each offspring has is determined by the parents. They can be both homozygous dominant or are they heterozygous and homozygous(dominant or recessive)


If the male parent has the genotype AAA and the female parent has the genotype AAA offsprings genotype will be?

The offspring's genotype will be AA. Both parents are homozygous dominant, AA, having only dominant alleles to pass on to their offspring. So each parent can pass on only the dominant allele (A) to its offspring. So the offspring will also be homozygous dominant, AA.


If a homozygous dominant parent and a heterozygous parent are crossed what percentage of the offspring are expected to be homozygous dominant?

Rr


Do Parents with the dominant phenotype cannot have offspring with the recessive phenotypeous for a trait that is?

No. Parents with the dominant phenotype might be heterozygous in their genotype. This means they could carry both the dominant and recessive allele for a trait. So they could both pass the recessive allele to an offspring, who would then have the homozygous recessive genotype and recessive phenotype.


What is the difference between purebred organism and a hybrid?

A purebred organism is the offspring of two homozygous parents, having either two dominant alleles, AA or two recessive alleles, aa. A hybrid is the offspring of two heterozygous parents, Aa.


What does it mean to be homozygous dominant heterozygous or homozygous recessive?

Homozygous means "same" so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant is stronger showing trait, recessive is weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt is homozygous recessive and TT is homozygous dominant. Hope this helped...
