the heterozygous will look like green because the green is dominant allele.
This is one of the classic experiments carried out by Gregor Mendel. If you cross pure-breeding green pod plants with pure-breeding yellow pod plants the offspring (F1 generation) will all have green pods. This means that green pod is dominant and yellow pod is recessive. To explain the results, pure-breeding green pod plants must have the genotype GG (homozygous dominant) and yellow pod plants must be gg (homozygous recessive). When they are crossed the F1 offspring will receive a G allele from the green parent and a g allele from the yellow parent, so they will all have the genotype Gg ie they will be heterozygous.
Breaking it down:Hetero means different.Homo means same.Zygous refers to how similar two alleles are for a trait in an organism.Use:Heterozygous and homozygous are terms used to describe a cell determined on the status of its alleles for a trait.You would describe a cell as Homozygous when both alleles for a given trait are the same. (Genotype example: YY,yy)You would describe a cell as Heterozygous when both alleles for a given trait are different. (Genotype example: Yy)In use:A green sweet pea: Homozygous or Heterozygous?Taking my knowledge of sweet peas, the color green is recessive in sweet peas while the color yellow is dominant.Using your knowledge on recessive genotypes....(Hint: A pea with a genotype of Yy would be yellow... Bigger hint: To have a recessive trait you would need two alleles from a recessive trait that are the identical; genotype yy)Yep, you got it.A green sweet pea would be Homozygous.Why?Because the color green is a recessive trait in sweet peas. To have a recessive trait shown, the cell would have to have two identical alleles of that recessive trait.And what qualifies a cell as homozygous? When both alleles for a given trait are the same.BINGO!There you go.I hope this helps.~Monique G.9th gradeCA, USA
In golden retrievers, red is recessive to yellow.
Identify the genotype trait of the seed color is yellow or green?

two recessive alleles gg
it's to do with genes, a homozygous organism has two alleles that are the same, whereas a heterozygous organism will have two different alleles. eg, on a chromosome for eye colour, a homozygous example would have both alleles for say, blue eyes. a heterozygous example would have an allele for blue and an allele for brown, where brown would be dominant, reccesive, or cooperative.

If they both are heterozygous and the recessive gene is blue it can happen
The reason why short plants reappeared in Mendel's F2 generation of pea plants was because their short trait was heterozygous. Both parents carriedÊthat recessive gene, so they passed it on to their offspring.
An organism that is heterozygous for two traits means that it contains both the dominant allele and the recessive allele for both of the traits in question. For example, take a plant that produces peas. The gene that produces yellow seeds (denoted Y) is dominant, the gene for green seeds (y) is recessive. The gene that produces round seeds is dominant (R), the gene for wrinkled seeds (r) is recessive. So if this organism was heterozygous for both traits its genotype would be: Yy/ Rr Which means it has the allele for yellow seeds and the allele for green seeds (trait one), and also has the allele for round seeds and the allele for wrinkled seeds (trait two). Its phenotype (the traits it displays) will be yellow round seeds, as these are the dominant traits.

"Heterozygous" means having one copy each of the dominant and the recessive allele governing a particular trait."Dihybrid" means that you are following the inheritance of two traits ("di-" = 2).For example: in the peas that Mendel studied, round seeds (allele R) are dominant over wrinkled (r). So a heterozygous plant has the genotype Rr. Yellow seeds (Y) are dominant over green (y). In experiments following these two traits (seed shape and seed color) a dihybrid heterozygous individual therefore has the genotype RrYy.A dihybrid cross involves observation of two traits, e.g.RRYY x rryywhich would yield an F1 entirely made up of RrYy individuals.
If two squash are heterozygous, it means they have a genotype with different genes. In this case, it would be Wy (a white gene and a yellow gene. y is lowercase because it represents that it is a recessive trait). If the parents are both Wy, if you create a Punnett Square, you get that the genotypes of the offspring will be WW, Wy, Wy, yy. Therefore, the ratio is 1:2:1 (since there are two Wy).
Dominance is when one gene completely takes over the phenotype, and codominance is when two genes are equally expressed. For example: Dominance: Red flower x yellow flower = red flower (red gene is expressed, but yellow gene isn't) Codominance: Red flower x white flower = flower with red petals and white petals (both the red gene and the white gene are expressed)
The phenotype (as I assume would be colour) for both homozygous and heterozygous yellow-grained corn is yellow.
