Crossing a recessive trait with a dominant trait involves breeding an organism that expresses the dominant phenotype with one that expresses the recessive phenotype. In genetics, the dominant trait will typically mask the expression of the recessive trait in the offspring. This can help determine the genotype of the dominant organism; if any offspring exhibit the recessive trait, the dominant parent must carry a recessive allele. This type of cross is often used in Mendelian genetics to study inheritance patterns.

What is the percentage of offspring that will exhibit the dominant trait from A crossing of A homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual?

The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.


What is crossing a homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive with a heterozygous?

There is a 50% chance of a homozygous dominant and a 50% chance of a heterozygous.

What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?

Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!


Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?

If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.


When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?

A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.

Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?

In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.


A test cross made with a cat that may be heterozygous for a recessive trait what is the presumed genotype of the cat explain?

If the cat is suspected to be heterozygous for a recessive trait, the presumed genotype would be Aa, where A represents the dominant allele and a represents the recessive allele. This means the cat has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for the trait in question. The test cross would involve crossing this cat with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the genotype of the cat.
