A genotype is decided from two alleles. One of these alleles comes from the father, and one comes from the mother. Thus it should be clear that the genotype can be different from both parents. For instance, suppose the father has genotype AA, and the mother has genotype aa. In this case, the child will have genotype Aa, which neither parent has.

What is the genotype of the offspring that do not share the parents phenotype?

If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.


A child is born with attached earlobes but both parents have hanging earlobes. What are the genotypes and phenottypes fot the parents?

The parents would each have the genotype Ee (heterozygous for earlobe attachment) and the phenotype for hanging earlobes. The child inherited the attached earlobe allele from both parents, resulting in the AA genotype and the phenotype for attached earlobes.


What is the difference between homozygosity and heterozygosity?

Homozygosity refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., both alleles are dominant or both are recessive), while heterozygosity refers to having two different alleles for the same gene (one dominant and one recessive allele). In homozygosity, an individual's genotype is either homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive, whereas in heterozygosity, the genotype is a combination of both dominant and recessive alleles.


What is the genotype of a woman with A blood and a man with b blood and a child with o blood?

The woman would have genotype AO (IAIA) for blood type A, the man would have genotype BO (IBIB) for blood type B, and their child with blood type O would have genotype OO (ii). The child inherited one O allele from each parent.

What is the probability that the offspring will inherit a PP genotype?

It depends on the parents' genes. If both parent have a Pp genotype, then the offspring has a 25% chance of having a PP genotype. But if both parents have a PP genotype then its 100%.

What was the genotype of the offspring the did not share the parents' phenotype?

If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.

The genotype for a purple plant would be 'PP.' This will depend on whether both parents showed that phenotype, but purple is generally dominant.

Yes, if both parents have the genotype AO, then the child can have the O from both parents, phenotype O


Both you and your sister or bother have attached earlobes yet your parents have unattached earlobes unattached earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes what are the genotypes of your parents?

If both you and your sibling have attached earlobes (aa genotype) and your parents have unattached earlobes, then your parents must both be carriers of the recessive allele for attached earlobes (Aa genotype).
