A genotype is decided from two alleles. One of these alleles comes from the father, and one comes from the mother. Thus it should be clear that the genotype can be different from both parents. For instance, suppose the father has genotype AA, and the mother has genotype aa. In this case, the child will have genotype Aa, which neither parent has.

What is the probability that the offspring will inherit a PP genotype?

It depends on the parents' genes. If both parent have a Pp genotype, then the offspring has a 25% chance of having a PP genotype. But if both parents have a PP genotype then its 100%.

What was the genotype of the offspring the did not share the parents' phenotype?

If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.


What will be the blood group of a child if the parents were bb?

If both parents are genotype BB, the child can only be blood type B. The child's genotype would also be BB.


What is the child's genotype if parents both have normal arches produce a child with flat feet?

Child's genotype would be homozygous recessive alleles (nn) and parents would both have heterozygous dominant alleles (Nn).


What is the genotype of the purple plant?

The genotype for a purple plant would be 'PP.' This will depend on whether both parents showed that phenotype, but purple is generally dominant.


What is the genotype of the offspring that do not share the parents phenotype?

Genotype is the coded for traitPhenotype is the visible characteristicSo in the case where both parents had heterozygous dominant Brown eyes (Bb - big B for brown, dominant gene; little b for blue recessive gene); it is possible for the child to have blue eyes, by being homozygous recessive (bb).However this is an educated guess, as your question does not make sense.
