Their offspring will be heterozygous recessive.
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.
Two types: A heterozygous parent (Aa) and a homoygous recessive parent (aa) can produce phenotypically dominate and phenotpically recessive offspring (with 50% genotypes Aa and the other 50% aa). If the genes are co-dominate then the offspring can have blended traits and recessive traits phenotypically.
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.
Heterozygous
Their offspring will be heterozygous recessive.
The probability is 50%. There are four probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.
Heterozygous induviduals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring
There are 3 probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.
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.
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.
I don't know and don't care
Recessive traits can be hidden if the organism inherits one dominant and one recessive allele (i.e. is heterozygous) for a gene. If a heterozygous organism mates with another heterozygous organism for the same trait, the recessive trait may be expressed in their offspring, which would mean that the offspring inherited two recessive alleles, one from each parent.
25%
Let's see what combinations can be formed.HH, HH, Hh, Hh.So, yes their offspring can contain the recessive allele.(THe offspring can be a carrier of the recessive allele.)However, since it is impossible for the offspring to be homozygous recessive,the recessive trait/gene will not show in the offspring's phenotype.Hope that helps!
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.
The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.
