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.
Each parent passing only one allele for a trait to its offspring is known as?
This is known as Mendelian inheritance, where each parent contributes one allele for a trait to their offspring. This process follows Mendel's principles of segregation and independent assortment.
Which is expressed a dominant or recessive allele and which is passed on to the offspring?
A dominant allele is expressed when an individual carries one or two copies of that allele. A recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele. Dominant alleles are typically passed on to offspring if at least one parent carries the dominant allele.
A characteristic than can be passed from an organism to its offspring is a?
Allele
Are recessive traits are always shown in an organism offspring?
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.
Are Recessive traits always shown in an organism's offspring?
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.
When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?
A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
What percent of offspring will inherit a recessive allele from a homozygous recessive parent?
If one parent is homozygous recessive for a trait, all of their offspring will inherit one copy of the recessive allele. Therefore, 100% of the offspring will inherit the recessive allele from a homozygous recessive parent.
If homozygous BB is crossed with homozygous bb what will the offspring have-?
The offspring will get the traits of Homozygous BB .
If one parent has two dominant alleles and another parent has two recessive alleles the offspring will have?
One copy of each allele, resulting in the offspring having one dominant allele and one recessive allele. This combination is known as heterozygous.
If a dominant homozygous reproduced with a heterozygous could their offspring be recessive?
Let's see what combinations can be formed.HH, HH, Hh, Hh.So, yes their offspring can contain the recessive allele.(THe offspring can be a carrier of the recessive allele.)However, since it is impossible for the offspring to be homozygous recessive,the recessive trait/gene will not show in the offspring's phenotype.Hope that helps!
What is the probability that a offspring will have wrinkled seeds?
R represents the dominant round allele, and rrepresents the recessive wrinkled allele. :D
