That is the Punnet Square. The genotype will be 100% Rr in the cross.
The phenotype will be whatever phenotype is constituted by your dominant allele.

A test cross would involve crossing a pea plant with a constricted pod (to determine its genotype) with a homozygous recessive plant (constricted pod), as this cross would reveal whether the first plant is heterozygous or homozygous dominant for the trait of pod shape.
If red color is dominant, (RR) and white is recessive, (rr) then crossing a homozygous red plant with a homozygous white plant will produce 100% red offspring. This is the F1 generation. These F1 offspring will be 100% heterozygous (Rr). Subsequent crosses of these offspring in the second generation (F2) will produce 75% red and 25% white offspring phenotypically (the visual appearance of the color, The genotype ratio will 1 RR: 2 Rr:1rr with percentages of 25% homozygous red 50% heterozygous red and 25% homozygous white.

Let's say we're talking about red flowers (red=dominant, R allele) vs white flowers (white=recessive, r allele) If you cross two homozygous red flowers, RR x RR, you can only get RR offspring, or all red flowers. RR=genotype (what alleles, or genes, they have), red=phenotype (what they look like) To make the Punnett square, draw a 4-box diagram on a piece of paper by drawing a diagonal line and then a horizontal line halfway down so you get 4 squares. On the top of the box, put R R and along the left side, put R and then another R under it. To fill in the boxes for the Punnett square, cross the top left-hand gene (R) with the top gene on the left-hand side. You'll get RR. Do the same for the top right-hand gene (R) and the top gene on the side. You'll also get RR. Cross the bottom R with the left gene on the top (R) and the right gene on the top. All combinations will be RR in this example. If you had a red flower that had a homozygous genotype (RR) with a white flower, also homozygous (rr), the results are more interesting. When you draw your Punnett square, you'll see that you get one RR combination, two Rr combinations and one rr combination. This means that the F1 generation (offspring) will be: 25% homozygous red (RR) 50% heterozygous red (Rr) 25% homozygous white (rr) Put another way, you'll have one white flower and three red flowers, and two of those red flowers carry a gene for white which is not expressed because it is recessive.

To figure this out, use a Punnet Square.First, set up a test cross, like this:Rr x rrThis shows what you are crossing. Now you can make a Punnet Square.R rr Rr rr There is a 50/50 chance that the corn plant will have thegenotype rr.r Rr rr
In genetics, you can either have a dominant allele (A) or a recessive allele (a). Being homozygous means that you have both of either a dominant or a recessive allele (ie you are either AA or aa). If the trait is a recessive trait, then you need to have it be homozygous recessive in order to express that trait. Hope this was helpful! :-)
A test cross would involve crossing a pea plant with a constricted pod (to determine its genotype) with a homozygous recessive plant (constricted pod), as this cross would reveal whether the first plant is heterozygous or homozygous dominant for the trait of pod shape.
This means that the father has two copies of the dominant allele for a particular trait. As a result, all of his offspring will inherit at least one copy of the dominant allele from him. This implies that all his offspring will either express the dominant trait or be carriers of the dominant allele.
It is Dominant. R is the dominant and r is the recessive. The dominate trait shadows the recessive trait. It is Dominant. R is the dominant and r is the recessive. The dominate trait shadows the recessive trait. Is dominant. dominant can be RR or Rr. but when its recessive its rr.
Let the dominant allele, red color, be represented by R,and the recessive alelle, yellow, by r. Both parent plants are homozygous, so their genotypes will be: Red: RR Yellow: rr The cross is therefore: RR X rr Remember that a homozygous genotype can produce only one type of gamete, so the red plant can only produce gametes with R, and the yellow plant can only produce r gametes. Since the F1 generation takes one gamete frrom each parent, and each parent can only produce one type of gamete, then the F1 generation can have only one genotype: F1: Rr That is, all of the offspring from this cross will be heterozygous. Red is dominant over yellow, and all of the offspring carry one R allele, therefore all of the F1 generation will be red in color.
If red color is dominant, (RR) and white is recessive, (rr) then crossing a homozygous red plant with a homozygous white plant will produce 100% red offspring. This is the F1 generation. These F1 offspring will be 100% heterozygous (Rr). Subsequent crosses of these offspring in the second generation (F2) will produce 75% red and 25% white offspring phenotypically (the visual appearance of the color, The genotype ratio will 1 RR: 2 Rr:1rr with percentages of 25% homozygous red 50% heterozygous red and 25% homozygous white.
It is called CODOMINANCE if the alleles each express when the phenotype is heterozygous. Let's look at the following situation. There are snapdragon flowers that are homozygous (having 2 of the same allele) for red. Let's call them R. There are also snapdragon flowers that are homozygous for white. Let's call them r. If you take one of the RR flowers and breed it with a rr flower, you will get Rr. If one of the alleles is dominant, then the flower will be the color of the dominant allele. If R (red) is the dominant allele, then all of the offspring will be red; if r (white) is the dominant allele, then they will be white. However, if they are codominant, then if the genotype is heterozygous (Rr), then the alleles will both express- in this case, the offspring would be pink. Hope I helped!
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene, while heterozygous means having two different alleles for the same gene. Homozygous individuals can be either homozygous dominant (two dominant alleles) or homozygous recessive (two recessive alleles), while heterozygous individuals have one dominant and one recessive allele.
If round seeds are dominant and wrinkled seeds are recessive, then in a cross between two plants with heterozygous genotypes (Rr), 75% of the offspring will have round seeds (25% RR, 50% Rr) and 25% will have wrinkled seeds (rr).
