How is the combination of genes important in determining the inheritance of biological traits?
The genes an organism contains is called the organism's genotype.
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.
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.
Diagram a cross between a known homozygous recessive organism and an unknown. half of the offspring demonstrate the dominant trait and half the recessive?
In this cross, the homozygous recessive organism has a genotype of "aa," where "a" represents the recessive allele. The unknown organism, which we can denote as "A?" (where "A" represents the dominant allele), must be heterozygous ("Aa") to produce offspring with both dominant and recessive traits. When crossed (aa x Aa), the resulting offspring would be 50% "Aa" (exhibiting the dominant trait) and 50% "aa" (exhibiting the recessive trait). Thus, the genotype and phenotype ratios confirm the unknown organism is heterozygous.
What is a genotype composed of?
Genotype is the genetic make up of an organism both expressed (phenotype) and unexpressed.Example: AaeeDndn is the genotype which includes unexpressed (recessive) alleles a and dn.Expressed dominant traits A and Dn as well as expressed recessive traits (ee). Note that expressed recessive traits have to be homozygous.

Why is it not necessary when the dominant and recessive traits are known to use the term homozygous when referring to the genotype of an individual that has a recessive phenotype?
When the dominant and recessive traits are known, using the term "homozygous" for the recessive phenotype is redundant because it implies that both alleles are the same (rr for a recessive phenotype). It is clear that the individual is homozygous for the recessive allele by observing their phenotype.
What are the types of homozygous traits you can get from punnet squares?
AA: Homozygous dominant aa: Homozygous recessive
How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?
They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous 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.

What do you call traits that can only be seen if the individual has both alleles for it?
Homozygous recessive.
When will a recessive trait show its effect?
A recessive trait will be expressed when there is no dominant allele in the genotype for that trait. In a Mendelian trait, where one gene with one dominant and one recessive allele governs a trait, a recessive trait will be expressed when the individual's genotype for that trait is homozygous recessive, meaning that both of the individual's alleles for that trait are recessive.
What is dominant recessive?
There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).
What is the phenotype of a purebred recessive?
A recessive trait is known as the characteristic that is the outward expression of the gene. Recessive traits can be masked by dominant traits but are still present if the gene is present in the organism.
What is a genotype composed of?
Genotype is the genetic make up of an organism both expressed (phenotype) and unexpressed.Example: AaeeDndn is the genotype which includes unexpressed (recessive) alleles a and dn.Expressed dominant traits A and Dn as well as expressed recessive traits (ee). Note that expressed recessive traits have to be homozygous.
AaBbCcDdEe x AaBbCcDdEe. What is the probability that the this cross will produce an organism homozygous recessive for all 5 traits?
Each set of genes is an independent event. Each probability of aa, bb, etc. is 1/4. So the probability of aabbccddee is (1/4)5 = 1/1024
