What are the names of the genotypes?

Homozygous dominant (Ex:AA) Heterozygous (Ex:Aa) Homozygous recessive (Ex:aa)


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.


What is it when you have a gene pair that consist of two dominate alleles and two recessive alleles?

The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.


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.


All individuals that show a recessive trait are?

recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait


What are the different forms of a gene either dominant or recessive?

heterozygous, homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive


When both parents contribute to the gene pair are recessive the pair is referred to as the?

Homozygous recessive


What does it mean to be homozygous dominant heterozygous or homozygous recessive?

Homozygous means "same" so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant is stronger showing trait, recessive is weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt is homozygous recessive and TT is homozygous dominant. Hope this helped...


A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?

False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.


Is the trait TT heterozygous or homozygous?

Yes.A homozygous genotype is a gene with two identical alleles. Recessive genes are represented by a lowercase letter. Thus, a homozygous recessive genotype would be two identical genes with lowercase letters.


Suppose that the alleles for blue eyes in cats is recessive and your cat has blue eyes. what statement can you make about your cat's genotype for eye color?

A+ It is probably homozygous for the recessive allele.


A homozygous genotype where both alleles are recessive are called?

A recessive gene refers to an allele which is only seen in homozygous genotype.
