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.
Is a disorder know as a dominant or recessive?
Dominant disorders can be passed onto the offspring if the dominant gene is present in the offspring.
A parent that is homozygous for a dominant trait is crossed with a parent that is homozygous for the recessive trait What percentage of the offspring will display the dominant trait?
100 percent
If an animal with 2 dominant genes for a trait has offspring with an animal with 2 recessive genes for same trait their offspring can only have what?
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
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 percentage of the offspring will most likely show the dominant trait?
More information is needed. The percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with Hh and HH will be different than the percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with hh and Hh.
How can offspring inherit a recessive trait?
An offspring can inherit a recessive trait if both of its parents are homozygous for the dominant allele.
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.
Are Recessive traits always shown in an organism's offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
Are recessive traits are always shown in an organism offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
What do organisms pass to their offspring?
They pass on traits. There are recessive traits and dominant traits. The dominant trait is normally the one that overpowers recessive
How is sickle cell alleles maintained through natural selection?
Heterozygous induviduals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring
