In guinea pigs the allele for short hair is dominant over the long haired allele. Cross two heterozygous guinea pigs. What percentage of the offspring will have long hair?

50 % out of hundred. Some babies may come out long haired and some short.

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.
What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
How is the sickle allele maintained through natural selection?
Heterozygous individuals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring.
What is it Dominant allele What is a recessive allele?
A genotype in which there are both a dominant and a recessive allele is called heterozygous.
What is crossing a homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive with a heterozygous?
There is a 50% chance of a homozygous dominant and a 50% chance of a heterozygous.
What are the circumstances under which dominant alleles will be expressed?
A dominant allele will be expressed when an allele pair is homozygous or heterozygous dominant.
What is a dominent allele?
A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.
Which type of cross would produce 100 percent heterozygous offspring?
A cross between two homozygous parents will form a 100 percent chance of a heterozygous offspring. One homozygous parent must have the dominant allele, and the other must have the recessive allele. So, if the circumstances are correct, these characteristics will make for a 100 percent chance of a heterozygous offspring.
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
The recessive allele is present, but not shown in complete dominance. This is because the dominant allele is completely dominant over the recessive allele, therefore it is shown, while the recessive allele is hidden.
What is when an individual has two copies of a dominant allele?
The person is considered to be heterozygous dominant. Heterozygous refers to having to of the same allele (AA or AA). dominant means AA not AA
What is called when you have a pair of genes that cnsits of a dominant allele and a recessive allele?
heterozygous
How do you use dominant allele in a sentence'?
The dominant allele overpowers a recessive allele, therefore when the two are combined (heterozygous) the phenotype of the organism becomes whatever the dominant allele represents.
