For a certain breed of cat short tails are dominant (T) and long tails are recessive (t). The Punnett square below shows a cross between two parents. What is the phenotype ratio for this cross?

∙ 14y agoDo your own homework kid. maybe shot and long hair? or some short hair kittens and some long hair kittens?
why don't you buy some cats and find out? oh don't do that its a bad idea............... ..........................

∙ 14y agoOf the first cat's parents? Only short tails.
Of the first cat? Depends on the mate. A short tailed mate will produce short tailed offspring. A long tailed mate could produce short or long tailed offspring.
ymmrs
For the folliwing cross, the answer is : 4 short, 0 long.

What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
A homozygous dominant genotype means that both alleles for a trait are dominant. A heterozygous genotype means that one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. A heterozygous genotype will express the dominant phenotype, not the recessive phenotype.
Organisms that are homozygous dominant and those that are for a trait controlled by simple dominance have the same phenotype?
Because the dominant gene always appears in the phenotype, whether or not it is "pure" (homozygous) or "mixed" (heterozygous). The recessive gene does what it says: it is recessive to the dominant gene. So, if it comes between the two, the dominant always appears. Of course, this only happens in your average Dominant-Recessive traits.
What is only way a recessive trait will be expressed?
if its 2 recessive allels together.
Why is it impossible for offspring to show the recessive trait if one parent is homoygous for the dominant trait?
Because the parent with the homozygous alleles for the dominant trait can only pass on that dominant allele to its offspring and the dominant allele, if present, is always expressed.
How do you distinguish between genotype and phenotype heterozygous and homozygous and dominant and recessive?
Genotype is the organism's full heredity information that may or may not be expressed. Actual observed properties are the phenotype. The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. Genes are homozygous when the same allele (form of the gene) inherited from both parents is the same. When different forms of the same gene are inherited from parents, they are heterozygous. Dominance refers to the relation between alleles of a gene. When two alleles of a gene combine, the dominant one then determines the trait that is expressed. In order for a recessive trait to be expressed, both alleles need to be recessive.
Differences between dominant and recessive?
Dominant is stronger than recessive. So you can only have the phenotype ( visual characteristic ) of a recessive allele if you have 2 recessive alleles in your DNA , and other combination the dominant allele would be predominant

(Apex) 2 long, 2 short.
How would a recessive trait show up in a cross between two individuals with a dominant phenotype?
If both the individuals are heterozygous dominant then the probability of recessive (homozygous) phenotypic offspring would be 1:4
Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.
Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?
The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
If a homozygous dominant is crossed with a homozygous recessive for a given trait the offspring will be?
The phenotype will show the dominant trait. All dominant traits mask recessive ones; If the genotype is heterozygous (One dominant and one recessive) the organism's phenotype will be dominant.
What is only way a recessive trait will be expressed?
if its 2 recessive allels together.
What is the difference between phenotype and a genotype an What is a example of each?
A phenotype is a physical characteristic of an organism, such as a tall pea plant. An organism's genotype is the specific gene combination that makes up a characteristic using Punnett Square. For example, a tall pea plant might have a genotype of TT or Tt, whereas a small pea plant may have a genotype of tt. (Note: In this case "T" is dominant and "t" is recessive.)
Why is it impossible for offspring to show the recessive trait if one parent is homoygous for the dominant trait?
Because the parent with the homozygous alleles for the dominant trait can only pass on that dominant allele to its offspring and the dominant allele, if present, is always expressed.
