If a hornless bull mates with a horned cow what are the two genotypes of the two parents?
Hornless = polled. Polled cows and bulls can be either homozygous polled or heterozygous polled. So, since we have no idea of what kind of calf they produce, the genotypical cross will look like this: (H = polled and h= horned) H_ x hh "H_" symbolizes the unknown allele that the polled bull has. Is he hetero polled or homozygous polled? The "hh" of the cow symbolizes she is homozygous horned, since the horned trait in cattle is a recessive trait: polled gene is dominant.
Why do you not look excactly like your parents?
you do not look exactly like either of your parents because you are a combination of both your parents and take traits from each of them so you look like a mix. Also if you have traits that neither of your parents have it is because you are homozygous for a recessive trait that both your parents were carriers for. note: If you have two white parents and look half black your mom likes to party.

What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
A homozygous dominant genotype means that both alleles for a trait are dominant. A heterozygous genotype means that one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. A heterozygous genotype will express the dominant phenotype, not the recessive phenotype.
What is the phenotype of a homozygous dominant person?
Homozygous dominant- means having dominant alleles at the same locus on a chromosome.More correctly, it's the same locus on two chromosomes (a homologous pair).
How do you prove if something is heterozygous?
The carrier must be Homozygous because if he were hetero it must be Hh and the dominant gene is expressed but homozygous gives them the possibility of hh (only a carrier) or HH (definitely a carrier) Don't totally understand the previous answer; however, I understand the question to mean that you want to know if you are homozygous or heterozygous for a certain trait. If you express a recessive phenotype, that is you have blue eyes for example, you are definitely homozygous for that trait. If one of your parents has a recessive trait, like blue eyes, and the other parent expresses a dominant trait, like brown eyes, AND if you have brown eyes, you can be sure that you are heterozygous. Otherwise it is impossible to tell until you have children. Then you can work backwards from you and your spouse, look at their parents and your parents and then figure the only possible way all those conditions could exist is if you are heterozygous or if you are homozygous for that trait.
Is a recessive gene expressed?
Ok, im assuming your question is "if two recessive alleles are present will the trait be expressed" A trait will be expressed if two alleles are recessive but it will not be the same representation as two dominant alleles. For example, T being a tall pea plant and t being a small pea plant. Two recessive alleles or, homozygous recessive, alleles The other option would be there is one dominant and one recessive, heterozygous, which would look like Tt. This would take on the trait of the dominant allele usually expressed by the capital letter. So this heterozygous plant would be tall.
The F1 offspring of Mendel's classic pea cross always looked like opne of the two parental varieties because?
Because Mendel crossed two pure-breeding plants. One being homozygous dominant and one being homozygous recessive. All of the progeny ended up being heterozygous, causing them to take on the dominant phenotype and look like the homozygous dominant parent.
Are the dominant traits always the most common in a population?
it is because that trait is more dominant. when a dominant and a recessive trait combine it is most likely that hte dominant trait will be expressed. it is only when a recessive trait combines with an another recassive trait that hte trait gets expressed(which is rare and not so commonly occuring)
Why is it impossible for offspring to show the recessive trait if one parent is homoygous for the dominant trait?
Because the parent with the homozygous alleles for the dominant trait can only pass on that dominant allele to its offspring and the dominant allele, if present, is always expressed.

What Does the phenotypic distribution look like in a population that is not undergoing natural selection for a certain trait?
The distribution will center towards hetrotrophs and thus dominant phenotypes. The distribution approaches all dominant phenotypes

What is the difference between a Pure tall plant and hybrid tall plant?
Pure TraitsPure traits can be either recessive or dominant. Pure traits may have two dominant genes or two recessive genes. For example, a pea plant may have two genes for tallness, which is dominant trait in pea plants. This plant is homozygous plant with a pure dominant trait for tallness. All of the offspring from this plant will be tall. A pea plant with two genes for shortness is also a pure organism. However, shortness in pea plants is a recessive trait. This plant is a homozygous plant with a pure recessive trait for height. The offspring from this plant will be short if it pollinates with another plant that has two genes for shortness. If this plant pollinates with a tall pea plant, the tall dominant gene will mask or cover up the recessive gene for shortness. Both plants are homozygous or pure plants; one is a pure dominant pea plant, the other is a pure recessive pea plant.Hybrid TraitOrganisms that have two unlike genes for a certain trait are called hybrid. A pea plant with one recessive gene for shortness and one dominant gene for tallness is a hybrid for that trait. A hybrid is called heterozygous, as it has two different alleles. The offspring from a pure tall pea plant, cross-pollinated with a pure short pea plant, will result in a heterozygous plant for tallness. No organism has all dominant or all recessive genes. An organism may be pure in certain traits and hybrid others. Remember, that a dominant trait in one kind of organism may be a recessive trait in another organism.
What is the difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
A dominate trait will most likely take over the recessive.
