In crossing a homozygous recessive with a heterozygote what is the chance of getting a homozygous recessive phenotype in the F1 generation?
1/2 or 50%. The homozygous recessive gentoype contains two recessive alleles for the gene for a trait. So the homozygous recessive individual can pass on only recessive alleles to an offspring. The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.
What else can I help you with?
True or false the phenotype of the herozygote is intermediate of for incomplete dominance?
True. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote exhibits an intermediate phenotype that is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. This is different from complete dominance, where the dominant allele completely masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygote.
What is the ONLY genotype that can produce a recessive phenotype?
Only a homozygous recessive individual will have the phenotype created by two recessive alleles.Since the term produce might indicate the production of offspring parents that can only produce offspring with a recessive phenotype must both have homozygous recessive genotypes.
Why is it not necessary when the dominant and recessive traits are known to use the term homozygous when referring to the genotype of an individual that has a recessive phenotype?
When the dominant and recessive traits are known, using the term "homozygous" for the recessive phenotype is redundant because it implies that both alleles are the same (rr for a recessive phenotype). It is clear that the individual is homozygous for the recessive allele by observing their phenotype.
What is the phenotype of a flower in a pea plant that is homozygous recessive?
You would expect 1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous dominant and 1 homozygous recessive offspring. This is because each parent has one dominant and one recessive allele. Therefore there is a 75% chance of a dominant phenotype and a 25% chance of a recessive phenotype.
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.

True. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote exhibits an intermediate phenotype that is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. This is different from complete dominance, where the dominant allele completely masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygote.

The following seed phenotype a showed up in a generation of plants. Which alleles are recessive?
To determine which alleles are recessive in the seed phenotype, you would need to compare the phenotype of the plants with known dominant phenotypes. Typically, if a phenotype appears in a generation that resembles the parents but differs from the dominant traits, those traits associated with the appearance of phenotype "a" are likely recessive. Observing the inheritance patterns in subsequent generations can further clarify which alleles are recessive based on the phenotypes that re-emerge when homozygous recessive individuals are bred.
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 phenotype of a flower in a pea plant that is homozygous recessive?
You would expect 1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous dominant and 1 homozygous recessive offspring. This is because each parent has one dominant and one recessive allele. Therefore there is a 75% chance of a dominant phenotype and a 25% chance of a recessive phenotype.
In Mendels experiment why did traits show up in F2 generation that were not present in the F1 generation?
All of the F1 generation are heterozygous, therefore 100% exhibit the dominant phenotype. The F2 generation has a ratio of 1 homozygous dominant: 2 heterozygous: 1 homozygous recessive. This results in a phenotypic ratio of 3 dominant: 1 recessive.

All of the F1 generation are heterozygous, therefore 100% exhibit the dominant phenotype. The F2 generation has a ratio of 1 homozygous dominant: 2 heterozygous: 1 homozygous recessive. This results in a phenotypic ratio of 3 dominant: 1 recessive.
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.
What is the probaility that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual will exhibit the dominant phenotype?
100 percent.
Term for a genotype in which there are two recessive alleles?
A genotype consisting of two different alleles is a heterozygote.
Which genotype is used in a test cross?
In a test cross, one individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. The genotype of the individual with the dominant phenotype can then be inferred based on the phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
