How many offspring are likely to have recessive traits if the parents are hybrids?

50%. There are four possible outcomes of the cross:
- dominant trait from "dad", dominant trait from "mom"
- recessive trait from "dad", dominant trait from "mom"
- dominant trait from "dad", recessive trait from "mom"
- recessive trait from "dad", recessive trait from "mom"
Therefore, to get hybrid offspring (one dominant, one recessive), you have a 2 out of 4 chance.

∙ 11y ago1/4 of the offspring would be recessive and 3/4 would be dominant. The parents are hybrids, the F1 generation would be all dominant, and the F2 generation would have the 1/4 recessive. (Draw a punt square)

∙ 10y agoWell, two heterozygous parents (D= dominant, d= recessive) will have a Dd and a Dd genotype. For a recessive trait to be displayed, the genotype must be homozygous recessive (dd). There is no such thing as a heterozygous recessive trait, as the (Dd) would allow the dominant trait to control the appearance. Any appearance of a dominant trait automatically overrules the recessive trait. But, the probability (via a Punnett square) shows the offspring can have a genotype of either DD (25%), Dd (50%), and dd (25%). So the dominant trait appears 75% of the time.

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.
What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?
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.
What does the word dominant mean in genetics?
The dominant overpowers the recessive traits. The dominant trait is the trait the the offspring will most likely have.
Why are lethal homoygous recessive disease are rarley elimimated from a population?
Because as they are homozygous recessive they are only lethal when a person inherits an allele from both parents, meaning that each parent must be heterozygous carriers of the gene, and even then it's only a 1 in 4 chance that the offspring will be homozygous recessive and therefore it's unlikely they will die. And if they do not die then the will survive to likely pass on the gene.
What happens when an allele is dominate or recessive?
Well, a dominant allele carries dominant traits from parents to offspring. An example of a dominant trait is brown hair and brown eyes because these traits are most likely to show up on a human than a recessive allele. A recessive allele may carry a recessive trait from parents to offspring such as blonde hair and blue eyes, these are uncommon because they are recessive traits.
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.
What was the genotype of the offspring the did not share the parents' phenotype?
If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.
What was the phenotype of the offspring that did not share of the parents phenotype?
If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.
What is the genotype of the offspring that do not share the parents phenotype?
Genotype is the coded for traitPhenotype is the visible characteristicSo in the case where both parents had heterozygous dominant Brown eyes (Bb - big B for brown, dominant gene; little b for blue recessive gene); it is possible for the child to have blue eyes, by being homozygous recessive (bb).However this is an educated guess, as your question does not make sense.
Which genetic concepts best explain the fact that hybrid parents can produce offspring with recessive phenotypes?
Most likely: The law of independent assortment But im not entirely sure
Are recessive traits inherited?
A recessive trait can only be passed along if both parents carry at least one of the recessive genes to the child. If both parents manifest the trait (that is, if both parents have both recessive genes), then the child will manifest (that is, carry both recessive genes and display) the recessive trait. If one parent manifests and the other parent only carries the trait (that is, carries one dominant and one recessive gene) then the child will definitely carry and have a 50% chance of manifesting. If both parents carry the recessive, the child is 25% likely not to carry the trait at all, 50% likely to carry and 25% likely to manifest the trait.
What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?
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.
What is hybridization in ducks?
It is where two ducks of the same species breed and produce hybrid offspring. Commonly in ducks, hybrids are most likely fertile.
What does the word dominant mean in genetics?
The dominant overpowers the recessive traits. The dominant trait is the trait the the offspring will most likely have.
What percent of the offspring will most likely have brown fur?
If brown fur is a dominant trait in the offspring's parents, then approximately 75% of the offspring will most likely have brown fur. This is because there is a 75% chance that each offspring will inherit at least one dominant brown fur gene from the parents.
What is the percentage of the possible types of offspring had the same genotype as the parents?
Since there is no information on the genetic make up of the parents only a generalized set of answerscan be given.The chance of an offspring being genetically identical in every way to either or both of its parents is virtually nil.The percentages of individuals that match the genetics of the parents for a few traits can be determined through the use of a punnet square.For example considering a single trait where one parent is homozygous dominant and the other is homozygous recessive zero offspring will have the genotype of either parent.If the parents are heterozygous for a single trait 50% of the offspring will have the genotype of the parents for that trait.The more gene pairs considered the less likely an offspring identical to the parents is possible.
