If about 50 percent of the offspring have the dominant phenotype and 50 percent have the recessive phenotype what are the genotype of the parents?
If 50% of the offspring show the dominant phenotype and 50% show the recessive phenotype, it is likely that one parent is heterozygous (Aa) for the trait and the other parent is homozygous recessive (aa). This would result in a 1:1 ratio of offspring showing each phenotype.
What is phenotype of Rr?
It is Dominant. R is the dominant and r is the recessive. The dominate trait shadows the recessive trait. It is Dominant. R is the dominant and r is the recessive. The dominate trait shadows the recessive trait. Is dominant. dominant can be RR or Rr. but when its recessive its rr.
What is the phenotype of a flower in a pea plant that is homozygous recessive?
You would expect 1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous dominant and 1 homozygous recessive offspring. This is because each parent has one dominant and one recessive allele. Therefore there is a 75% chance of a dominant phenotype and a 25% chance of a recessive phenotype.
How would a recessive trait show up in a cross between two individuals with a dominant phenotype?
In a cross between two individuals with a dominant phenotype but carrying a recessive trait, the recessive trait would not be visibly expressed in the offspring (since they don't inherit two copies of the recessive allele). However, they would be carriers of the recessive trait, meaning they could pass it on to future generations.
What is the pthenotype for each genotype?
Homozygous dominant genotype (AA): The phenotype will show the dominant trait. Heterozygous genotype (Aa): The phenotype will also show the dominant trait due to the presence of at least one dominant allele. Homozygous recessive genotype (aa): The phenotype will exhibit the recessive trait.
How do dominant and recessive alleles affect an offsprings phenotype?
The traits inherited depends upon the alleles that have been passed on from the father and mother.The traits that are exhibited is called as the phenotype. Dominant allele needs only one copy to be expressed.For example in a pea plant "T" represents the tall dominant allele and "t" the short recessive allele .TT - when there are two dominant alleles the pea plant will express the tall trait. The pea plant is tall.Tt - when there is one dominant and one recessive allele the pea plant will still express the tall trait.In this case the dominant allele masks the recessive allele and the pea plant is still tall.tt - when there are two recessive alleles the pea plant will express the recessive trait and the pea plant is short.For a recessive trait to show up there should be a pair of recessive alleles.
A trait that requires one allele in order to in order to show up in the phenotype?
Recessive traits require two recessive alleles.
How many dominant alleles must be present in order to show the dominant phenotype?
Only one dominant allele is needed to display the dominant phenotype. Dominant alleles are expressed when present, masking the effect of recessive alleles.
What will be the phenotype of a heterzygous gerbil?
A gerbil with a recessive gene would generally not show it, aka it will not show as a phenotype. However, there are slight differences in some gerbils with recessives, such as a lighter coat if the gerbil has a recessive c(h), g, or a.
What is the phenotype of a purebred recessive?
A recessive trait is known as the characteristic that is the outward expression of the gene. Recessive traits can be masked by dominant traits but are still present if the gene is present in the organism.
What is the likelihood of a recessive trait being expressed if your offspring is crossed with a homozygous dominant eye shape prove your answer in a cross?
If you cross a homozygous dominant individual (AA) with a heterozygous individual (Aa), the offspring will have a genotype ratio of 100% dominant phenotype (AA or Aa) and 0% recessive phenotype (aa). Therefore, if your offspring has a homozygous dominant trait (AA), the likelihood of expressing a recessive trait (aa) is 0%. The Punnett square for this cross would show all dominant traits, confirming that recessive traits cannot be expressed in this scenario.
What happens when a dominant and recessive allele are both present?
The resulting offspring will have the dominant trait. It depends on if the dominant is hetero or homo...if it was homozygous then your offspring will have a hetozygous trait showing the dominant trait (to clear this up if you are confused lets say we are talking about brown eyes(BB-dominant) vs blue eyes(bb-recessive)--a homozygous would give you a brown eyed child with Bb and but if the person is heterozygous Bb and gets with a recessive you have a chance of getting Bb or bb giving you a possibility of a brown or blue eyed child)...wow i just made that way more confusing than it had to be
