All the F1 plants are tall because the dominant allele for a tall stems masks the recessive allele for short allele
An organism with a genotype of Hh is a hybrid because the dominant allele for longer stems covers the recessive allele.

because a hybris is with two different traits and Hh are two different traits.

When hybrids are crossed what is the genotype of the offspring?

The term "hybrid" in biology means one who carries different alleles for the same trait. For example, a hybrid plant's genotype for height is Hh. When crossing two hybrids, we are performing this operation: Hh x Hh. The offsprings' genotypes can vary from: HH Hh hh


Genevieve has the genotype?

Hh


What is a organism's phenotype?

A phenotype is how genes manifest themselves - the characteristics you end up having. - So if you have one gene that gives you blue eyes and one gene that gives you brown eyes (if the browneye gene is dominant) the phenotype of your eyes will be brown.


In which generation are the parents purebred?

I depends on what you are using. For example if you are using tall stemmed pea plants and short stemmed pea plants, T will be the genotype for tall because it is dominant (it will mask the recessive t trait if T is there making the pea plant be tall even if it is a hybrid or Tt) and t will be the genotype for short pea plants, (you need two different or same genotypes because one genotype represents one parent). TT and tt are purebred because both parents are the same. Also if your mother and father have black eyes, it will be dominant over any other color because you would inherit it from both parents. This used to confuse me too but you need to understand the basics of it first =) E.G. Tt, Bb, Ee, Aa, Dd, Hh

A mother has Hh and a father has hh which genotype will make their child not have hair on the back of his or her hand?

H is a dominant trait for the hair color red. The trait for white hair is recessiv.The parents genotypes are HH x hh.What will the genotype of the offspring be?


What genotype could be described as heterozygous?

Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.


Which genotype will give rise to the Bombay phenotype?

hh


What gene is heterozygous?

a heterozygous gene is a gene with a genotype with two different letters. For example, Hh rather then hh, HH (which are homozygous). Hope this helps. =)


Could 2 people with a widows peak have a child with a straight hairline and could 2 people with a straight hairline have a child with a widows peak EXPLAIN?

Yes to the first one, no to the second one. Firstly, widow's peak is caused by a dominant gene while a straight hairline is caused by a recessive gene. Let 'H' be dominant and 'h' be recessive. So for a dominant gene, the trait still will be expressed whether the genotype of the person is homozygous dominant(HH) or heterozygous(Hh). For a recessive gene however, the trait will only be expressed when the genotype of the person is homozygous recessive (hh). So two people with a widow's peak CAN have a child with a stright hairline, provided both of their genotypes are Hh. This is because by crossing their genotypes, they can have a possibility of having child with the genotype HH(widow's peak), Hh(widow's peak), and also hh(straight hairline). The ratio of these three possibilities however, are 1:2:1. So the odds of having a child with a straight hairline in this case is 1:3. If the two people who have widow's peak have the genotype HH or one of them HH and the other Hh, then the possibility of having a child with a straight hairline is 0. This is because by crossing their genotypes together, the genotype of the child will either be HH for the first case, and HH or Hh for the second case. For two people who have a straight hairline, the genotype of both will definitely be homozygous recessive (hh), thus child will definitely have the recessive gene. Therefore, it is not possible for two people with straight hairline to have a child with widow's peak.


What is the name of the condition when a person has inherited the genotype HH?

Homozygous dominant.


If I used to have straight hair till about 25 years then a bit wavy is my genotype straight or wavy. My son is very curly and husband a bit wavy. Is that normal?

Genotype for straight hair is recessive and for curly hair is dominant. So lets suppose this: h = straight hair H = curly hair Then to get straight hair, for it being a recessive for that characteristic, your children must be hh. If they are Hh, hH, or HH, they will have curly hair You, for having straight hair are hh, your husband can be Hh or HH. If you quickly use Punnett square (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square) to see the odds of each possible genotype your children might have, you will have the following: If hh + Hh: 1) hH > curly 2) hh > straight Result: 50% chances of getting straight hair If hh + HH: 1) hH > curly 2) hH > curly Result: 0% chances of getting straight hair So, yes, it is possible.


What color eyes will your baby have if both of us have hazel eyes?

most likely yes. but if you both have the eye genotype Hh the odds of having a child with hazel eyes is 75% but also if one has the genotype Hh but the other has HH the odds are 100% here's the punnet squares (never mind turned out bad) hopefully (but not likely) you understood that. the better answer is most likely yes unless you both have the Hh genotype it might be better to see like a doctor about something like this because it would invove a lot of family history and probably some tests


What is the meaning of the word genotype?

The entire genetic makeup of an organism; also the combination of genes for one or more specific traits.


Which genotype represents a white-eyed male fruit fly?

A heterozygous genotype is always a capital letter, then a lowercase letter. Example: Hh
