No. Parents with the dominant phenotype might be heterozygous in their genotype. This means they could carry both the dominant and recessive allele for a trait. So they could both pass the recessive allele to an offspring, who would then have the homozygous recessive genotype and recessive phenotype.

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.


When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?

A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.


What phenotype is produce by each of the following genotypes?

Genotype: AA - The phenotype is homozygous dominant, exhibiting the dominant trait. Genotype: Aa - The phenotype is heterozygous, exhibiting the dominant trait. Genotype: aa - The phenotype is homozygous recessive, exhibiting the recessive trait.


Two organisms each with genotypes TtGg mate?

They produce TTGG, TTGg, TTgg, ttGG, ttGg, ttgg, TtGG, TtGg, Ttgg offspring. Phenotype ratios will be: 9 dominant phenotype for both traits 3 dominant phenotype for T and recessive phenotype for g. 3 dominant phenotype for G and recessive phenotype for t. 1 recessive phenotype/genotype for both traits.


What does the word dominant mean in genetics?

In genetics, "dominant" refers to an allele that will be expressed in the phenotype if present, masking the expression of the corresponding recessive allele. This means that even if an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele's phenotype will be visible.

What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual exhibit the dominant phenotype?

Given those conditions, the offspring have a 50% chance of demonstrating the dominant phenotype and a 50% chance of demonstrating the recessive phenotype.

What is the probabilty that the offspring of a homozygous domiant idiviual and a homozygous recessive indiviual will exbhit the domaint phenotype?

If one parent is homozygous dominant (AA) and the other parent is homozygous recessive (aa), all offspring will inherit one dominant allele and display the dominant phenotype. Therefore, the probability of their offspring exhibiting the dominant phenotype is 100%.


Which phenotype belongs to an offspring that is homozygous recessive for both trsaits?

An offspring that is homozygous recessive for both traits will express the recessive phenotype associated with those traits. For example, if the traits in question are flower color (with purple as dominant and white as recessive) and plant height (with tall as dominant and short as recessive), a homozygous recessive offspring would display the white flower color and short height phenotype. Therefore, the phenotype will be determined by the specific traits being assessed, but it will always show the recessive characteristics.


In a testcross an individual who is is crossed with an individual who is .?

In a testcross, an individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with an individual that is homozygous recessive for the same trait. This helps determine the unknown genotype of the dominant individual based on the phenotypic ratios of the offspring. If any offspring display the recessive phenotype, it indicates that the dominant parent is heterozygous. Conversely, if all offspring show the dominant phenotype, the dominant parent is likely homozygous.


What is the probaility that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual will exhibit the dominant phenotype?

100 percent.


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 crossing recessive with dominant?

Crossing a recessive trait with a dominant trait involves breeding an organism that expresses the dominant phenotype with one that expresses the recessive phenotype. In genetics, the dominant trait will typically mask the expression of the recessive trait in the offspring. This can help determine the genotype of the dominant organism; if any offspring exhibit the recessive trait, the dominant parent must carry a recessive allele. This type of cross is often used in Mendelian genetics to study inheritance patterns.


What crosses will result in dominant phenotype offspring?

Don't give us the options then!! If one parent had 2 dominant genes then all offspring would have dominant phenotype, the same goes for both parents having dominant genes.


What is it called when replication is messed up?

Mutation occurs, if a mutation is recessive it is not expressed in the phenotype, if however it is dominant when passed on in the offspring it is expressed in the phenotype.


When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?

A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.


What phenotype is produce by each of the following genotypes?

Genotype: AA - The phenotype is homozygous dominant, exhibiting the dominant trait. Genotype: Aa - The phenotype is heterozygous, exhibiting the dominant trait. Genotype: aa - The phenotype is homozygous recessive, exhibiting the recessive trait.
