If two homozygous plants with contrasting traits are crossed, the expected genotypes for the offspring will be heterozygous. The dominant trait would be expressed, but they'd be carriers for the recessive trait.

You would have to figure out what the traits of the plant are - i.e., Aa or AA or aa.. then you figure out what it looks like (the phenotype). The phenotype refers to the outward appearance: blue flowers, pink flowers, long stems, short stems, etc. It's how it looks. Heterozygous means that it has two different alleles for one trait.

If you're not going to answer the question, shut up and move on with your life!

It's a 50% chance for either one. so 50%

Homozygous dominant genotype: DD Homozygous recessive genotype: dd 100% offspring in the cross of DD x dd will have a heterozygous genotype of Dd and will show the dominant phenotype.

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 phenotype of a flower in a pea plant that is homozygous recessive?

You would expect 1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous dominant and 1 homozygous recessive offspring. This is because each parent has one dominant and one recessive allele. Therefore there is a 75% chance of a dominant phenotype and a 25% chance of a recessive phenotype.


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.


If about 50 percent of the offspring have the dominant phenotype and 50 percent have the recessive phenotype what are the genotype of the parents?

If the phenotype is recessive then the genotype must be dd.


When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?

A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.

What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual exhibit the dominant phenotype?

Given those conditions, the offspring have a 50% chance of demonstrating the dominant phenotype and a 50% chance of demonstrating the recessive phenotype.


What is the percentage of offspring that will exhibit the dominant trait from A crossing of A homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual?

The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.


What is the probaility that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual will exhibit the dominant phenotype?

100 percent.


What is crossing a homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive with a heterozygous?

There is a 50% chance of a homozygous dominant and a 50% chance of a heterozygous.

What is the probabilty that the offspring of a homozygous domiant idiviual and a homozygous recessive indiviual will exbhit the domaint phenotype?

100% heterozygous dominant


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.

If a homozygous dominant is crossed with a homozygous recessive for a given trait the offspring will be?

The phenotype will show the dominant trait. All dominant traits mask recessive ones; If the genotype is heterozygous (One dominant and one recessive) the organism's phenotype will be dominant.


When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?

A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
