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 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.
A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
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.
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.
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.
Given those conditions, the offspring have a 50% chance of demonstrating the dominant phenotype and a 50% chance of demonstrating the recessive phenotype.
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.
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%.
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 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.
100 percent.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
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.
