50%. There are four possible outcomes of the cross:

  • dominant trait from "dad", dominant trait from "mom"
  • recessive trait from "dad", dominant trait from "mom"
  • dominant trait from "dad", recessive trait from "mom"
  • recessive trait from "dad", recessive trait from "mom"

Therefore, to get hybrid offspring (one dominant, one recessive), you have a 2 out of 4 chance.

What percentage of the offspring will most likely show the dominant trait?

More information is needed. The percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with Hh and HH will be different than the percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with hh and Hh.


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 would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?

The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.


If both parents were Dd then what would the phenotypic ratio be?

If both parents were Dd, they would both be heterozygous for a particular trait. The phenotypic ratio of their offspring would likely be 1 dominant : 2 heterozygous : 1 recessive. This is because the dominant allele masks the recessive allele, resulting in a 3:1 ratio.


What is an example of recessive trait?

'Albinism' (being an albino, without skin pigmentation) is an example of a recessive trait. Specifically, it is an expressed recessive trait, because that person does not have the dominant gene at all, only two copies of a recessive gene. For a person to be an albino, his/her parents BOTH had to have the recessive gene and the offspring had to inherit THOSE TWO copies and can now only 'express' the recessive gene. There is no dominant gene to undo the albino trait. Side note: there is more than one form of albinism recognized in medical science, but all are examples of recessive traits. Another example of a recessive trait would be 'sickle-cell disease/anemia.'

What was the phenotype of the offspring that did not share of the parents phenotype?

If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.

For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.


Which genetic concepts best explain the fact that hybrid parents can produce offspring with recessive phenotypes?

The concept of recessive alleles and the principle of segregation during gamete formation can explain how hybrid parents carrying a recessive allele can produce offspring with recessive phenotypes. When the alleles for a specific trait segregate during gamete formation, a recessive allele from each parent can combine in the offspring, resulting in the expression of the recessive phenotype.


What is the genotype of the offspring that do not share the parents phenotype?

If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.

Is a widows peak dominant or recessive?

A widow's peak is a dominant trait. This means that if one parent has a widow's peak, there is a higher likelihood that their offspring will also inherit this trait. If both parents have a widow's peak, the offspring will most likely have one as well.


What percent of the offspring will most likely have brown fur?

for what animal. it all depends on the dominant gene (allele) and recessive. the genotype of the parents needs to be set up in a Punnett square and with that data you can determine the probability that an animal will have brown fur


What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?

The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.


Are recessive traits inherited?

A recessive trait can only be passed along if both parents carry at least one of the recessive genes to the child. If both parents manifest the trait (that is, if both parents have both recessive genes), then the child will manifest (that is, carry both recessive genes and display) the recessive trait. If one parent manifests and the other parent only carries the trait (that is, carries one dominant and one recessive gene) then the child will definitely carry and have a 50% chance of manifesting. If both parents carry the recessive, the child is 25% likely not to carry the trait at all, 50% likely to carry and 25% likely to manifest the trait.


What is the genotype of the offspring with yellow pods what are the possible genotypes of the offspring with green pods?

The genotype of the offspring with yellow pods is likely homozygous dominant (YY) or heterozygous (Yy), assuming yellow pods are dominant over green. The possible genotypes of the offspring with green pods would be homozygous recessive (yy), as green is the recessive trait. If both yellow-podded parents are heterozygous (Yy), some offspring could also be yellow (YY or Yy) while others could be green (yy).


What is hybridization in ducks?

It is where two ducks of the same species breed and produce hybrid offspring. Commonly in ducks, hybrids are most likely fertile.
