A homozygous dominant genotype indicates that both alleles are the same, in this case, both dominant. Depending on which gene is in question, this can indicate that they are in good health, bad health, or nothing to that fact. For example, if a person is homozygous dominant for brown coloured eyes, their genotype would be BB, and this would have no effect on their state of health.
The genotype of a person having a homozygous dominant trait would look like TT, for example. A heterozygous genotype would consist of differing alleles. (Ff)
The person will show the trait. Homozygous means that both alleles are the same, so it doesn't matter whether the trait is dominant or recessive, it's the only one available.
AA
It's impossible to say without more information. The genotype AA is called homozygous dominant for the trait that is encoded by the letter A (or a). Whatever trait A stands for on your homework, the answer is the dominant one is expressed in the phenotype.
Recessive. Dominant alleles are expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous individuals (DD or Dd), but recessive alleles are only expressed in homozygous individuals (dd).
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
homozygous
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
homozygous dominant is the genotype. hypothetically, if the gene was for the color purple in a flower, the phenotype would be purple, while the genotype would be homozygous dominant AKA Pp.
Homozygous dominant and heterozygous both are a dominant phenotype.
Given those conditions, the offspring have a 50% chance of demonstrating the dominant phenotype and a 50% chance of demonstrating the recessive phenotype.
The genotype AA represents a homozygous dominant genotype. The capital letter "A" represents the dominant allele, while the lowercase letter "a" would represent the recessive allele. If both dominant alleles are present in a genotype (homozygous dominant) then the phenotype is "A" phenotype. If one dominant allele and one recessive allele are present (heterozygous dominant) then the phenotype is "A". Finally, if both recessive alleles "a" are present (homozygous recessive) then the phenotype is "a". Therefore, the answer to your question is the genotype AA would result in an "A" phenotype because the genotype is homozygous dominant.
100 percent.
There is a 50% chance of a homozygous dominant and a 50% chance of a heterozygous.
Because the dominant gene always appears in the phenotype, whether or not it is "pure" (homozygous) or "mixed" (heterozygous). The recessive gene does what it says: it is recessive to the dominant gene. So, if it comes between the two, the dominant always appears. Of course, this only happens in your average Dominant-Recessive traits.
A homozygous dominant genotype means that both alleles for a trait are dominant. A heterozygous genotype means that one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. A heterozygous genotype will express the dominant phenotype, not the recessive phenotype.
Well actually not necessarily. An individual can be homozygous or heterozygous dominant for a trait. As long as they have that dominant allele in that specific genetic trait, they will automatically express the dominant phenotype. If a person is homozygous dominant, it just means that they will pass on both dominant traits to the offspring. If a person is heterozygous dominant , it means that they will pass on both a dominant and recessive trait to their offspring.Hope that helps ! =D
The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
You would expect 1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous dominant and 1 homozygous recessive offspring. This is because each parent has one dominant and one recessive allele. Therefore there is a 75% chance of a dominant phenotype and a 25% chance of a recessive phenotype.
Because Mendel crossed two pure-breeding plants. One being homozygous dominant and one being homozygous recessive. All of the progeny ended up being heterozygous, causing them to take on the dominant phenotype and look like the homozygous dominant parent.
