In a certain plant yellow leaves are dominant (Y) and red leaves are recessive (y). A plant with genotype Yy and a plant with YY are crossed. If they have four offspring how many would you predict wou?

Alright so if it's Yy and YY, it's 0.
If it's Yy and yy, it's 2.
There's lots of different answers so good luck, hope this helps lol :)

What is a testcross in biology?
a cross between an organism whose genotype for a certain trait is unknown and an organism that is homozygous recessive for that trait so the unknown genotype can be determined from that of the offspring
In a certain cat long whiskers (W) are dominant and short whiskers (w) are recessive. Two cats have genotypes Ww and ww. If they have an offspring with short whiskers what is the genotype of their off?
ww
What is a testcross?
Gregor Mendel devised the fundamental tool of the test cross. It is an experimental cross of an individual organism of dominant phenotype but unknown genotype and an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype .
When hybrids for a certain characteristic are crossed Aa x Aa the recessive genotype AA may appear in some of the offspring because of what?
Probability is the term for the chance that any specific genotype will occur in the offspring from the mating of parents. Typically the capital letter A (in this example) represents the dominant allele as opposed to the recessive allele. The probability of the possible genotypes in a monohybrid cross is 1AA:2Aa:1aa. The probability of AA is .25 or 25%.
What is the pthenotype for each genotype?
Genotypes are the specific allele combinations that an individual contains pertaining to a certain trait. Phenotypes are what is expressed due to the genotype. (recessive/dominant/codominant)

Are dominant traits more likely to be inheritd then recessive traits?
Yes. When looking at Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance, the Dominant allele will always be inherited by the offspring, as it is more potent than the 'weaker' recessive allele (unless the recessive allele is present in both parents; this can be in the form of Aa or aa, but it must be present in both for the recessive allele to be present in the offspring). There are other cases, though, such as co-dominance, in which recessive alleles are more likely to be present in the offspring, but speaking in general terms, it is the Dominant (ex. AA / Aa) alleles that show up more commonly in offspring than the recessive (ex. aa) alleles.
Use a punnet square to predict the results of a monohybrid cross starting with the phenotypic and genotypic r?
A punnet square is a 2x2 grid that is used to show the probability of an offspring showing a certain genotype and phenotype. The genotype is shown by using a letter for the trait. A capital letter is used to represent a dominant allele and a lowercase letter is a recessive. Ie: a heterozygous individual would be shown as having genotype Rr for a trait. If their genotype contains at least one dominant allele, then their phenotype is shown as the dominant trait. If the trait is eye color, R being dominant brown eyes, and r being recessive blue eyes, then the individual with either RR or Rr will have brown eyes. and if they have rr, then they have blue eyes. Now back to the punnet square, The top of the square will have the genotype of one parent, and the side will have another parent. If the father is RR, then each column will have a R over it. If they are Rr, then the first column will have an R and the second will have a r. Likewise, if they are recessive, then the top of the square will have rr. The same is shown on the rows on the side. The genotype goes down the two squares on the side. The genotype probability is found by crossing each allele in the boxes. If one box has R over it, and r to the right, then the box contains Rr. This is used to fill in all four boxes. In the end, If you have {RR, Rr, rr, rr} as your resulting genotypes, then there is a 50% chance that the offspring will have Dominant or recessive phenotype. The genotype ratio is then 1:2:1 and the phenotypic ratio is 2:2.
What can a punnett square tell us?
Punnett squares demonstrate the percentage of traits that are passed on from one generation to the next. It shows the pairings of dominant and recessive genes and what percentage there is of the next generation having those particular traits.
How does genotype affect phenotypes?
They are related to each other because...Genes and alleles are the traits inside an object, when using a punnet square, we take the genotype out of that object to make experiments.
Is the punnet square used to find the probability of genotypes and phenotypes?
A Punnet square is used to find the probablitiy of certain genetic traits in the offspring of an organism (example: the traits in the children) by taking the trait of each possible parent gamete (sex cell) and combining the combinations within the squares.Example:A aA AA Aaa Aa aaSo the offspring here have a 25% chance of being homozygous (both dominant) dominant for the trait, 50% heterozygous (one dominant and one recessive) dominant for the trait, and 25% (homozygous (both recessive)) recessive for the trait.
Can an organism be heterozygous recessive for a trait?
Heterozygosity implies possessing both a dominant and a recessive allele and the phenotype that is exhibited in a heterozygote is always the dominant one (hence the name 'dominant'). Therefore, if a phenotype is associated with heterozygosity, it is automatically the dominant phenotype.
