Homozygous means that you have identical alleles for a trait.

Example: For females, both alleles are XX.

Males are heterozygous, with XY.

What is the probability that the offspring of a homozgous dominantindividual and homozygous?

There is insufficient information for us to even begin to understand this question. Please edit the question to include more context or relevant information.


What would the offspring most likely be if an individual with a heterozygous trait and an individual with a homozgous recessive trait crossed be?

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.


What is the difference between homozgous and heterozygous?

Heterozygous vs. Homozygous: These terms refer to genetic mutations. There are two copies of the protein codes in the genetic code. If one copy is normal and the other has the mutation, it is said to be heterozygous. If both copies have the mutation, it is said to be homozygous. For example: A/A -- homozygous. A/a -- heterozygous. a/A -- heterozygous. a/a -- homozygous.Homologous refers to the pair of chromosomes that are the same whilst Homozygous refers to the fact that alleles of a gene pair are the same


If a man is o positive would his children be o positive?

Not necessarily, it depends completely upon the mothers' blood type. The mother will need to have at least one O allele in order for the children to have type O blood. This means she can have the genotypes OO, AO or BO. If the mother is AB, or homozgous A or B - then the children will not have O blood. There is a good chance that the children of a man with positive blood will also have positive blood - because this trait is dominant.


A brown guinea pig(X)with smooth fur has parents that both have black coarse fur.X is crossed with a female guinea pig(Y)that is black with coarse fur.She is heterozygous for both characteristics.what is the symbol to indicate the cross between X and Y?

Cross between homozygous black rough (BBRR) guinea pig and homozgous white smooth guinea pig (bbrr) produced black and rough animals in F1​ generation.
