Yes. Whether you are heterozygous or homozygous only matters in parenting, to know the possibilities of your offspring.

However, the only recessive trait in the blood is type O. The other two genes, A and B, are co-dominant, meaning if you have one of each, you'll have AB blood, because neither is dominant to the other.

To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype you would cross that individual with one that is?

To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype you would cross that individual with one that is homozygous recessive. A monohybrid cross of two individuals that are heterozygous for a trait exhibiting complete dominance would probably result in a phenotype ratio is 3 dominant 1 recessive.


Mendel used what term to describe heterozygous pea plants?

He used the term hybrid.


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.


What phenotype is produced by AB genotype?

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.


If a homozygous dominant is crossed with a homozygous recessive for a given trait the offspring will be?

The phenotype will show the dominant trait. All dominant traits mask recessive ones; If the genotype is heterozygous (One dominant and one recessive) the organism's phenotype will be dominant.


Why does the cross between two parents that are homozygous for contrasting traits result in offspring that are heterozygous?

They R pretty wierd!


When inheritance of a particular trait follows a pattern of what individuals that are heterozygous for the trait have the same phenotype or physical characteristic as individuals who are homozyg?

This type of inheritance represents alleles at the same locus where one is recessive to the other. The dominant phenotype occurs in all heterozygous offspring as well as the homozygous dominant offspring. This yields a 3:1 phenotype and a 1:2:1 genotype.


A genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particle trait?

A genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particular trait is called homozygous. This means that both alleles are the same, which can either be dominant or recessive. Homozygous genotypes can result in the expression of a specific trait depending on the alleles involved.


Can you please distinguish homozygous and heterozygous individuals?

Homozygous individuals have two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., AA or aa), while heterozygous individuals have two different alleles for the same gene (e.g., Aa). Homozygous conditions often result in specific traits, while heterozygous conditions can lead to a blending or mix of traits from each allele.


Show the cross between 2 heterozygous dogs. black fur B is dominant to brown fur b?

The Punnett square for crossing two heterozygous dogs (Bb x Bb) would result in a 25% chance of offspring with homozygous dominant black fur (BB), a 50% chance of offspring with heterozygous black fur (Bb), and a 25% chance of offspring with homozygous recessive brown fur (bb).


Heterozygus phenotypes show qualities of both alleles?

Yes, that's correct. Heterozygous individuals have two different alleles at a specific gene locus, and they can express traits from both alleles. This can result in a combination of traits or an intermediate phenotype that differs from either homozygous condition.


The offspring of two parents that are heterozygous for a given trait have a percent chance of being homozygous for that trait?

There is a 25% chance (1 in 4) that the offspring will be homozygous for the trait. This is because when both parents are heterozygous (Aa), they can pass on either the dominant allele (A) or the recessive allele (a) to their offspring, resulting in a 1 in 4 chance of the offspring receiving the recessive allele from both parents and becoming homozygous (aa) for that trait.
