If a heterozygous tall pea plant, Aa, is crossed with a homozygous plant, AA, for the trait, you will have a one in one in four chance of the offspring being heterozygous. You will need to create a square and plug the traits in to see what the odds are.
The offspring will all inherit one copy of the dominant allele (from the heterozygous parent) and one copy of the recessive allele (from the homozygous recessive parent). This results in all offspring being heterozygous for the trait.
If both oompahs are heterozygous (Oo), there are three possible genotypes that would result in offspring with orange faces: OO, Oo, and oO. Therefore, 75% of the offspring from this cross would have orange faces.
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.
A heterozygous genotype (e.g. Aa) is not true-breeding because it carries two different alleles for a trait and can produce offspring with different genotypes when crossed. True-breeding genotypes are homozygous for a particular trait (e.g. AA or aa) and will consistently produce offspring with the same genotype when crossed.
100%
Their offspring will be heterozygous recessive.
The ratio produced would be 1:1 for heterozygous (Tt) offspring to homozygous recessive (tt) offspring. This is because the parent with genotype Tt will pass on one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t) to its offspring, resulting in a 50% chance of either genotype in the offspring.
The offspring will all inherit one copy of the dominant allele (from the heterozygous parent) and one copy of the recessive allele (from the homozygous recessive parent). This results in all offspring being heterozygous for the trait.
Out of the 240 offspring, approximately 60 would be homozygous (25% of 240). This is because when two heterozygous plants are crossed (Aa x Aa), the Punnett square shows that 25% of the offspring will be homozygous dominant (AA), 50% will be heterozygous (Aa), and 25% will be homozygous recessive (aa).
3:1 ratio Two pea plants, both heterozygous for flower color, are crossed. The offspring will show the dominant purple coloration in a 3:1 ratio
If both oompahs are heterozygous (Oo), there are three possible genotypes that would result in offspring with orange faces: OO, Oo, and oO. Therefore, 75% of the offspring from this cross would have orange faces.
To determine whether a tall plant is heterozygous, it should be crossed with a homozygous recessive plant (short plant). If any offspring are short, the tall plant must be heterozygous; if all offspring are tall, the tall plant is likely homozygous dominant. This test cross allows for the observation of inheritance patterns in the offspring.
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.
A heterozygous genotype (e.g. Aa) is not true-breeding because it carries two different alleles for a trait and can produce offspring with different genotypes when crossed. True-breeding genotypes are homozygous for a particular trait (e.g. AA or aa) and will consistently produce offspring with the same genotype when crossed.
If a homozygous brown mink is mated with a silver-blue mink, the offspring would all be heterozygous for brown. When crossed with a silver-blue mink, half of the offspring would inherit the silver-blue allele, so out of 8 offspring, 4 would be silver-blue.
When a heterozygous long-winged fly (LW) is crossed with a short-winged fly (ww), the possible genotypes of the offspring are LW and ww. This results in a 50% chance of producing long-winged offspring (LW) and a 50% chance of producing short-winged offspring (ww). Therefore, there is a 50% likelihood that the offspring will have long wings.
Homozygous yellow peas have two identical alleles for yellow color (YY), while heterozygous yellow peas have one yellow allele and one non-yellow allele (Yy). This means that homozygous yellow peas will always produce yellow offspring when crossed, while heterozygous yellow peas have a 50% chance of producing non-yellow offspring when crossed with another heterozygous pea plant.
