Round seeds are dominate to wrinkled seeds What percentage of the offspring will be round?

depends on the genetic composition of the parents


What is an organism that is heterozygous for two traits?

An organism that is heterozygous for two traits means that it contains both the dominant allele and the recessive allele for both of the traits in question. For example, take a plant that produces peas. The gene that produces yellow seeds (denoted Y) is dominant, the gene for green seeds (y) is recessive. The gene that produces round seeds is dominant (R), the gene for wrinkled seeds (r) is recessive. So if this organism was heterozygous for both traits its genotype would be: Yy/ Rr Which means it has the allele for yellow seeds and the allele for green seeds (trait one), and also has the allele for round seeds and the allele for wrinkled seeds (trait two). Its phenotype (the traits it displays) will be yellow round seeds, as these are the dominant traits.


In Mendel's experiment why did wrinkled seeds show up in the F2 generation even though they were not present in the F1 generation?

Wrinkled seeds are recessive The F1generation carried recessive alleles.


In pea plants are round or wrinkled seeds dominant?

In pea plants round seeds are dominant to wrinkled. So to have round seeds you either will have two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or one dominant and one recessive allele (heterozygous)


How did the results of Mendel's dihybrid crosses lead him to formulate the law of independent assortment?

When crosses were made taking into account two dominant charater in a parent with another parent having racessive genes for those characters, in F1 generation all plants had dominant characters but in F2 generation, on self-pollination, the segregation in both the characters were observed independent of each other.

What is the probability that a cross between a hybrid pea plant with round seeds and one with wrinkled seeds will produce offspring with wrinkled seeds?

The probability that an offspring will have wrinkled seeds is 2 in 4 or 50%


Suppose that in a pea plant round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in the and ldquotexture and rdquo gene. If you were to take two plants heterozygous for the texture gene and cross them togethe?

Suppose that, in a pea plant, round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in the "texture" gene. If you were to take two plants heterozygous for the texture gene and cross them together to make eight new plants, how many of those plants should express the smooth phenotype? Use a Punnett's Square to determine the results.


What gametes will be produced by each parent RR x rr?

The genotype is always the "gene formula", in this case Rr.The phenotype is the expression of the genes (how the animal or plant looks, functions, or behaves). In this case, it's a bit hard to say what the phenotype would be without knowing what R is!If the question is about garden peas, and if R is the dominant allele responsible for round seeds, and r the recessive allele producing wrinkled seeds, then the genotype Rr will produce the phenotype of the dominant allele, i.e. round seeds.


How did gregor mendel make sure that the plants with round seeds did not self pollinate?

He allowed plants whose seeds were round or wrinkled in shape to self pollinate. This trait has two variations-either round or wrinkled seeds.


What is the probability that a offspring will have wrinkled seeds?

R represents the dominant round allele, and rrepresents the recessive wrinkled allele. :D

Blue jeans...wrinkled ones. ;) I think you mean what kind of genes, not jeans.

What is the physical trait of round and wrinkled?

Round and wrinkled seeds were observed by Mendel in Pea plant while experimenting on its hybridization process. Round or wrinkled stage of seed is a physical trait in pea plant.

What is genotype of a plant which is heterozygous with wrinkled seed has a red flower If red is dominant and wrinkled is recessive?

if "R"= red and I assume non dominat color is white then "r"-white if "S"= smooth seed and "s"- wrinkled Your plant would be "Rrss" = Red flowers, but produces wrinkled seeds
