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%.

How could the botanist best determine whether the genotype of the green-pod plant is homozygous or heterozygous?
The botanist could perform test crosses between the green-pod plant and a known homozygous recessive individual. If all offspring show the dominant green pod trait, the green-pod plant is likely homozygous. If the offspring display a mix of green and yellow pods, the green-pod plant is most likely heterozygous.
If about 50 percent of the offspring have the dominant phenotype and 50 percent have the recessive phenotype what are the genotype of the parents?
If 50% of the offspring show the dominant phenotype and 50% show the recessive phenotype, it is likely that one parent is heterozygous (Aa) for the trait and the other parent is homozygous recessive (aa). This would result in a 1:1 ratio of offspring showing each phenotype.
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 happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present, but it is overridden by the dominant allele in terms of physical expression. The recessive allele still remains in the genetic makeup of the offspring and can be passed on to future generations.
What is an observable trait of an organism that can mask a recessive trait?
The observable characteristic are called the genotype and any dominant trait can mask the recessive. An example would be Black Angus cattle can actually carry a red recessive trait because black is the dominant trait in cattle breeding
If one parent has the genotype Cc for hair color and the other parent has the genotype cc what percentage of the offspring will have the recessive genotype for hair color?
50% of the offspring will have the recessive genotype (cc) for hair color when one parent is Cc and the other parent is cc. This is because all their children will inherit one "c" allele from the parent with cc genotype.

What will be the ratio produced if Tt is crossed with tt?
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.
Is a person who is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic disese a carrier?
As long as a persons genotype consists of at least one recessive gene, they can pass it on to offspring to give them the disease, which makes them a carrier. Since this persons genes are both recessive, it is definite that they will pass on the recessive gene.
In a dihybrid cross between individual with the genotype RRYYand an individual with the genotype rryy all of the offspring with have the genotype?
RrYy. This is because the first parent is homozygous dominant for both traits (R and Y), while the second parent is homozygous recessive for both traits (r and y). Therefore, all offspring will inherit one dominant allele (R and Y) and one recessive allele (r and y) for each trait.
Does your analysis support or refute mendels hypothesis of dominant and recessive inheritance?
You are from Kerr. The answer is on the textbook. The analysis does support the hypothesis because some of the offspring's genotype is heterozygous, as they have two different alleles. They do not have the recessive traits expressed, except in organisms that are homozygous recessive. You're so welcome.
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
A parent that is homozygous for a dominant trait is crossed with a parent that is homozygous for the recessive trait What percentage of the offspring will display the dominant trait?
100% of the offspring will display the dominant trait because the homozygous dominant parent can only pass on the dominant allele. The offspring will inherit one dominant allele from the dominant parent and one recessive allele from the recessive parent, resulting in a heterozygous genotype expressing the dominant trait.
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present, but it is overridden by the dominant allele in terms of physical expression. The recessive allele still remains in the genetic makeup of the offspring and can be passed on to future generations.
What is an observable trait of an organism that can mask a recessive trait?
The observable characteristic are called the genotype and any dominant trait can mask the recessive. An example would be Black Angus cattle can actually carry a red recessive trait because black is the dominant trait in cattle breeding
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present but not expressed because the dominant allele masks its effects.
