If both the individuals are heterozygous dominant then the probability of recessive (homozygous) phenotypic offspring would be 1:4

Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?

No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.


The probability of a homozygous recessive offspring resulting from a cross between two homozygous dominant individual is?

It depends on the parents. The parent could have two dominant genes which would give a 0% chance of the offspring being recessive. The only way that the offspring could have a recessive characteristic is if the both parents have one dominant and one recessive gene, a 25% chance. The chance that both parents would pass on the recessive gene (if they have one dominant and recessive gene) is also 25%, because there is a 50% chance for each parent.


Is co-dominant recessive?

No, codominance is a genetic relationship between two versions of a gene where both versions are expressed in the phenotype. In contrast, recessive traits are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.


Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?

The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.


Are dominante and recessive genes responsibile for how baby looks?

Yes, dominant and recessive genes play a role in determining physical traits in offspring. Dominant genes are more likely to be expressed in the phenotype, while recessive genes are typically masked unless an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. This interplay between dominant and recessive genes contributes to the variety of physical characteristics seen in offspring.

What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?

Homozygous dominant individuals have two copies of the dominant allele for a trait, homozygous recessive individuals have two copies of the recessive allele, and heterozygous individuals have one copy of each allele. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals will express the dominant trait, while homozygous recessive individuals will express the recessive trait.


Differences between dominant and recessive?

Dominant is stronger than recessive. So you can only have the phenotype ( visual characteristic ) of a recessive allele if you have 2 recessive alleles in your DNA , and other combination the dominant allele would be predominant

Organisms that are homozygous dominant and those that are for a trait controlled by simple dominance have the same phenotype?

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.


What will be the phenotype of a heterzygous gerbil?

A gerbil with a recessive gene would generally not show it, aka it will not show as a phenotype. However, there are slight differences in some gerbils with recessives, such as a lighter coat if the gerbil has a recessive c(h), g, or a.

What is the phenotype ratio of a cross between a heterozygous male and female?

The phenotype ratio will depend on the specific genetic traits being studied. In general, a cross between two heterozygous individuals is expected to result in a 3:1 phenotypic ratio, with three-quarters of the offspring displaying the dominant phenotype and one-quarter displaying the recessive phenotype.

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.


What does incomplete dominan ces mean?

Incomplete dominance refers to a genetic phenomenon in which the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. This means that neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a unique intermediate phenotype in heterozygous individuals.
