One sample of offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 152 yellow peas and what is the estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green?
About a 74% estimated probability of green,
What are the different life processes?
Movement - moving around (duh!)Respiration - converting oxygen into energy. Not the same as breathing!Sensitivity - responding to external stimuli, like heat, etc.Nutrition - eating/absorbing things for their nutrients.Excrement - getting rid of waste.Reproduction - producing offspring/seeds from which offspring will grow.Growth - getting bigger.moving,reproduce,sensitive,nutrition,excrete,respire and grow
How much stronger is the dominant hand than the other?
It adapts to getting more and heavier use.
What kind of gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele?
Heterozygous. Nice job your getting your life science homework answers on answers.com-lol
Is turner syndrome a dominant or recessive?
yes it is a recessive trait
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.
What happens when a dominant and recessive allele are both present?
The resulting offspring will have the dominant trait. It depends on if the dominant is hetero or homo...if it was homozygous then your offspring will have a hetozygous trait showing the dominant trait (to clear this up if you are confused lets say we are talking about brown eyes(BB-dominant) vs blue eyes(bb-recessive)--a homozygous would give you a brown eyed child with Bb and but if the person is heterozygous Bb and gets with a recessive you have a chance of getting Bb or bb giving you a possibility of a brown or blue eyed child)...wow i just made that way more confusing than it had to be
How do you xxplain how the hitchhicker's thumb trait is determined using the following words allele domnate recessive homozygous heterozygous?
basically, the hitchhiker's thumb is a physical characteristic that is inherited from your mother and/or father. when you were conceived, your mother gave you some of her genes, and your father gave you some of his. the hitchhiker's thumb is either a dominent or recessive trait. It if is dominant, you could have a heterozygous parent and still have a 100% chance of inheriting it. If the hitchhiker's thumb is recessive, you must have both of you parents homozygous for the gene to have a 100% chance of inheriting it. The alleles are either HH (homozygous dominant), Hh (heterozygous), or hh (homozygous recessive). H H << if the thumb is dominant trait, you have a 100% chance of getting it H HH HH << if the thumb is recessive trait, you have a 0% chance of getting it h Hh Hh
In order for a child to inherit a recessive trait both parents must be carriers of the recessive gene?
No. A recessive gene can be inherited from one parent, a dominant from another, or two alike dominants. (No such thing as two alike recessive, the gene with the furthest back dominant gene. Say a blonde little girl has a blonde hybrid mother and a brown hybrid father. She ended up getting brown recessive. Since both of her parents were hybrid, she only had a recessive hair color gene from one parent.
What is the color of the baby eyes if the mother have the recessive gene for blue and the father has blue eyes?
I assume you mean the mother has a dominant allele for some other color. Father is homozygous recessive for blue. Dominant allele + recessive blue X recessive blue + recessive blue The baby has a 50% chance of blue eyes and a 50% chance of getting the dominant colored eyes.
Are dominant traits more likely to be inheritd then recessive traits?
Yes. When looking at Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance, the Dominant allele will always be inherited by the offspring, as it is more potent than the 'weaker' recessive allele (unless the recessive allele is present in both parents; this can be in the form of Aa or aa, but it must be present in both for the recessive allele to be present in the offspring). There are other cases, though, such as co-dominance, in which recessive alleles are more likely to be present in the offspring, but speaking in general terms, it is the Dominant (ex. AA / Aa) alleles that show up more commonly in offspring than the recessive (ex. aa) alleles.
What are the changes of a child getting a recessive trait if one partent is homozygous domiant for that trait?
0 percent.
Can getting hit in the testicls effect the gender of a furture offspring?
No
If a black horse and a blackhorse bred together what colour would the foal be?
There are a couple possibilities, depending on the genetic makeup of the horses. First, a few definitions: homozygous for black means the horse has two genes for the color black. This horse can only pass on a black gene. Heterozygous for black - the horse has one gene for black, and one for chestnut. Either one can be passed on. The horse will appear black, though can produce chestnut foals. If they are both homozygous for black the foal will be black, and will be homozygous for black. If one of them is homozygous and the other heterozygous, you will always have a black foal, but there is a 50/50 chance of being homozygous for black. If both of them are heterozygous, you have a 25% chance of getting a chestnut, 50% chance of getting a heterozygous black, and 25% change of a homozygous black.
What is the probability that certain genotypes and phenotypes will occur?
This depends entirely on the genotype of the parents. The probability of getting a specific genotype is the probability of getting the correct allele from mother (1/2) multiplied by the probability of getting the correct allele from father (1/2) multiplied by the number of ways this can occur. The probability of getting a phenotype, if the phenotype is dominant, is the sum of the probability of getting two dominant alleles, and the probability of getting one dominant allele. If the phenotype is recessive, the probability is equal to the probability of getting two recessive alleles.
Who is a better offspring?
If mother and father are geographically situated in two different regions and if they do not have any blood relationship, then there is a good chance of getting a better offspring.
