The offspring gets traits from both the parents and some from the grandparents.
a true breeding plant always produces offspring with the same trait as the parent(s).
The parent plant is homozygous dominant for the trait(s) observed. This can be called a 'true-breeding' plant as well.
I think it's a true-Bred plant
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
A true breeding pea plant means that when it self-pollinates, it produces offspring with the same trait as the parent plant. This indicates that the plant is homozygous for that particular trait and will consistently pass it on to its offspring.
Trait
One of the allels for a trait to it's offspring.
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.
A true-breeding plant is one that produces offspring with the same traits as the parent when self-pollinated or cross-pollinated with another true-breeding plant. This indicates that the plant is homozygous for a particular trait and will consistently pass on that trait to its offspring.
In a cross between Parent 1 (Tt) and Parent 2 (tt), the possible genotypes of the offspring are Tt and tt. The Tt offspring will be heterozygous and display the dominant trait, while the tt offspring will be homozygous recessive and display the recessive trait. There is a 50% chance (2 out of 4 possibilities) that the offspring will be tt and show the recessive trait. Therefore, 50% of the offspring will display the recessive trait.
In a cross between parent one (Tt) and parent two (tt), the possible offspring genotypes are Tt and tt. This results in a 50% chance for Tt (dominant trait) and a 50% chance for tt (recessive trait). Therefore, 50% of the offspring will display the recessive trait.
