Dimples are a dominant characteristic If one parent does not have dimples and one parent is heterozygous for dimples what chance does a child have for getting dimples?

The child has a 50% chance of inheriting dimples. This is because dimples are a dominant trait, so if one parent is heterozygous for dimples, they will have one dominant allele for dimples to pass on to their child. The child would need to inherit this dominant allele from the heterozygous parent in order to express the trait.


What is the chance that any child will inherit the dominant allele if one parent does not carry the allele and the other is heterozygous for it?

The chance that any child will inherit the dominant allele in this scenario is 50%. If one parent does not carry the allele, they can only pass on the recessive allele. The parent who is heterozygous for the dominant allele can pass on either the dominant or recessive allele, resulting in a 50% chance for each allele to be inherited by the child.


Can a child with blood type O have a parent with AB blood type explain?

No. A and B are dominant blood types and O is recessive. A parent with blood type AB can only donate a dominant A or dominant B. A child with blood type O would need to come from parents with one of the following combinations: A-A, A-B, A-O, B-O, O-O


If a child has a characteristic that neither parent has the characteristic is what?

it could just mean someone else in the family has that characteristic.


Is folded tongue a reccessive or dominant?

The ability to fold your tongue is controlled by a dominant gene. If at least one parent can fold their tongue, their child is likely to also be able to do it.

What is the genotype of a child if the mother is homozygous for the dominant trait and the father is homozygous for the recessive trait?

The dominant parent is most likely homozygous dominant, and the recessive parent has only the homozygous genotype. So the dominant parent can pass on only dominant alleles for this trait, and the recessive parent can pass on only recessive alleles for this trait. So all of the offspring would be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.


What is the probability that a parent carrying a dominant trait will pass that trait on to each child?

The probability that a parent carrying a dominant trait will pass that trait on is a 50% chance with each pregnancy


What is the Mode of inheritance hemophilia?

Transmitted by a dominant gene. If that gene is inherited from either parent, the offspring will develop HD. If the gene is NOT inherited, then the offspring will not have HD- AND cannot pass the gene to their offspring.


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.


How can you use dominant trait in a sentence?

The dominant trait for eye color in humans is brown, which means that if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes, the child is more likely to inherit brown eyes due to the dominant trait.


What is a trait that is a characteristic passed from parent to there young Example would be fur color stripes or spots?

That would be called genes. Genes is when a characteristic is past on from a mother to its child or a father to its child.

Is a dominant trait always dominant?

No, sometimes there are instances of "codominance", where two dominant traits are expressed equally. This occurs in the human body for example, with A and B type blood. An A parent and a B parent, can produce an AB type child. Both types A and B are dominant to O type blood, however they can coexist together.


If a child has a characteristic that neither parent has the characteristic is what?

it could just mean someone else in the family has that characteristic.
