Yy is a heterozygous genotype. Homozygous would be YY or yy.
One can determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous by looking at the alleles present. If there are two different alleles for a particular gene, the genotype is heterozygous. If there are two of the same alleles, the genotype is homozygous.
The genotype of the individual is homozygous for the trait in question.
Heterozygous
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
if for example we had a yellow and a blue flower yellow being dominant (Y) and blue being recessive (y) a homozygous organism has the phenotype of either being YY or yy and a heterozygous organism could only be Yy.
In mice the YY genotype is lethal during embryonic development. This means that the mating of heterozygous individuals will produce a ratio of 2:1 Yy to yy offspring.A 'YY' genotype is homozygous dominant for that particular trait. If it is Yy, it will be heterozygous.
For the two given parents: 1 offspring will have the homozygous genotype: YY 1 offspring will have the homozygous genotype: yy 2 offspring will have the heterozygous genotype: Yy
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).
When crossing two heterozygous pea plants (Yy x Yy) using a Punnett square, the resulting genotypes are YY, Yy, Yy, and yy. This results in a 1:2:1 genotype ratio, where 25% of the offspring will be homozygous dominant (YY), 50% will be heterozygous (Yy), and 25% will be homozygous recessive (yy). The phenotypic ratio will be 3 yellow (YY and Yy) to 1 green (yy).
One can determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous by looking at the alleles present. If there are two different alleles for a particular gene, the genotype is heterozygous. If there are two of the same alleles, the genotype is homozygous.
homozygous- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)
The genotype of the individual is homozygous for the trait in question.
Heterozygous
Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.
Homozygous
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
It may be homozygous or heterozygous depending upon its mode of pollination and fertilization.
