If one parent is 100 percent Greek and the other is of mixed heritage will the Greek characteristics be dominant in the child?
Assuming there were such a thing as a Greek characteristic, not necessarily. Here is how heredity works. Each parent caries two chromosomes for each trait. Traits are either dominant or recessive. Let us say we are talking about eye color. Brown eyes are dominant. Blue are recessive. Suppose a brown eyed man marries a brown eyed woman. Now let us further suppose that the brown wywd man has one blue and one brown eyed chromosome (he could, of course have two brown eyed chromosomes). Let us further suppose the woman has the same. The following pairs are then possible: Brown - Brown result brown eyes Brown-Blue result brown eyes Blue Brown result brown eyes Blue Blue result blue eyes On the other hand a brown eyed man with two brown chromosomes marrying a blue eyed woman who MUST have two blue eyed chromosomes would result in all brown eyed children. If, on the other hand a brown eyed man with one of each chromosome married a blue eyed woman who MUSt have two blue eyed chromosomes the pairing would be: Brown - blue result brown eyes Blue - blue - result blue eyes Brown - blue - result blue Blue-Blue - result blue eyes

Ty cobb what he did to a heckler?
Ty Cobb rushed at a crippled man apparently because the man questioned Cobb's parent's racial heritage or something.
Is mix people with black and white called African American?
The mostly archaic term for those with both black and white heritage is mulatto. The more specific use of the term is for someone with one black parent and one white parent.
What did mendel discover about recessive traits?
Gregor Mendel discovered that recessive traits are expressed only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one inherited from each parent. In cases where a dominant allele is present, the dominant trait masks the expression of the recessive trait. Mendel's experiments with pea plants illustrated this concept, leading to the formulation of the laws of inheritance. His work laid the foundation for understanding genetic inheritance patterns.
What is the German word for 'parent'?
parents = die Eltern parent = der Elternteil parent = der Vorgänger parent = der Erziehungsberechtigte
What is the parent company of dell?
the parent company of dell is unknown
A parent that is homozygous for a dominant trait is crossed with a parent that is homozygous for the recessive trait What percentage of the offspring will display the dominant trait?
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.
What is a dominant gene and what is a recessive gene?
Recessive gene is one which is supressed and do not show their characteristics and dominant gene is one which show their characteristics for example if a father has brown hair and mother has black hairs and if their son has black hair then in this case gene which has characteristics of black is dominant and the other which has characteristics of brown colour is recessive
Why your offsprings dont look exactly like you?
A child gets half of its DNA from each parent. This is why you can see characteristics of both parents in a child. --truckbroker-- More importantly, some traits are recessive in the parent. Or dominant in a dominant recessive trait. In which they may skip generations.
What is the process of the transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring?
The transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring occurs through the passing down of genes from parents to their offspring. Genes are units of heredity that carry instructions for various traits. Offspring inherit a combination of genes from both parents, which determines their physical characteristics and traits.
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.
A homozygous dominant parent will produce a gamete with?
They will produce gametes that are also homozygous.
How would a baby change if one parent was homozygous dominant for all the traits and the other parent was heterozygous?
If one parent is homozygous dominant for all traits (carrying two dominant alleles for each trait), and the other parent is heterozygous (carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait), there would be a 100% chance that the baby would inherit the dominant alleles from the homozygous dominant parent. Therefore, the baby would also be heterozygous for all the traits, carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait.
Is the mom or dad the dominant parent?
It depends on your family and which parent is more submissive. For me, my father is the dominant :):):)
What percentage of the offspring will most likely show the dominant trait?
More information is needed. The percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with Hh and HH will be different than the percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with hh and Hh.
How are dominant genes used?
In genetics, an offspring receives a gene from each parent for a particular trait (an allele). If the two alleles are for different characteristics, such as blue eyes and brown eyes, then usually one of the characteristics will show up in the offspring while the other is masked. The trait that shows up is the dominant gene.
What is a plluripotent?
Know how people will claim to see evidence of both parents in a baby? ("He's got his father's chin" or "She has her mother's eyes") If the offspring resembles only one parent, the genes of that parent are said to be pluripotent. That is, only their dominant characteristics are expressed.
When one parent is pure dominant and the other parent is pure recessive the offspring will be what?
The offspring will be a scientist.
