The offspring are genetic copies of their parents (and it's genotypes).
Recessive alleles are expressed only when two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring. In this case, if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, it will show the recessive trait.
No. Parents with the dominant phenotype might be heterozygous in their genotype. This means they could carry both the dominant and recessive allele for a trait. So they could both pass the recessive allele to an offspring, who would then have the homozygous recessive genotype and recessive phenotype.

First, nothing in science is always. In the case of asexual reproduction Such as binary fission or mitosis mutations is always a possibility. In the case of certain microbes, plasmids containing genetic material can be absent or more prevalent in reproduced copies of itself. But, for the most part, under normal circumstances, asexually reproduced organisms are usually identical clones. Matt Somar- Department of Biology University of Central Florida.
Down syndrome results when cells receive three copies of chromosome 21.
Asexual reproduction through processes such as binary fission or budding produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit a combination of genetic material from both parents, resulting in similarities with the parents but not identical copies.
both parents carry a copy of the recessive allele for that trait. This means that the offspring inherits two copies of the recessive allele, expressing the trait. If both parents were carriers of the recessive allele, there is a 25% chance of the offspring inheriting two copies and showing the trait.
In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of their genetic material to the offspring. This results in a unique combination of genes in the offspring rather than an exact copy of either parent's genes.
Recessive alleles are expressed only when two identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring. In this case, if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, it will show the recessive trait.
No. Parents with the dominant phenotype might be heterozygous in their genotype. This means they could carry both the dominant and recessive allele for a trait. So they could both pass the recessive allele to an offspring, who would then have the homozygous recessive genotype and recessive phenotype.
If both parents carry a recessive gene for a particular trait, there is a 25% chance that their offspring will inherit two copies of the recessive gene and exhibit the corresponding trait. This can be determined through genetic Punnett square analysis to predict the probability of different genetic outcomes in offspring.
When discussing genetics, recessive trait refers to the fact that the offspring of two parents must inherit two copies of a gene to expose the trait. This would mean that both parents must be carriers of said gene in order for their offspring to show a recessive trait.
A recessive gene A recessive gene makes it harder for genes(or traits) to be passed on from parents to daughters.
