How was Mendel able to determine that certain traits were dominant and some were recessive?
Mendel crossed pea plants with contrasting traits and observed the offspring. He found that one trait (dominant) masked the expression of the other (recessive) in the first generation. By allowing the plants to self-fertilize over multiple generations, he determined the patterns of inheritance and identified the ratios of dominant to recessive traits in the offspring.
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.
The offspring of two parents that are heterozygous for a given trait have a percent chance of being homozygous for that trait?
There is a 25% chance (1 in 4) that the offspring will be homozygous for the trait. This is because when both parents are heterozygous (Aa), they can pass on either the dominant allele (A) or the recessive allele (a) to their offspring, resulting in a 1 in 4 chance of the offspring receiving the recessive allele from both parents and becoming homozygous (aa) for that trait.
Why are recessive disorders more common than dominant disorders?
dominant traits show up in the first generation so any disorders have a 50% percent chance of showing up in offspring. recessive traits skip a generation therefore any diseases would have on a 25% chance.
What percent of the offspring will be short around?
60%
If parent 1 crosses with parent 2 what percentage of offspring will display the recessive trait?
75% Percent
What percentage of the offspring will most likely show the dominant trait?
More information is needed. The percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with Hh and HH will be different than the percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with hh and Hh.
What percent of offspring will inherit a recessive allele from a homozygous recessive parent?
If one parent is homozygous recessive for a trait, all of their offspring will inherit one copy of the recessive allele. Therefore, 100% of the offspring will inherit the recessive allele from a homozygous recessive parent.
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.
A parent that is homozygous for a dominant trait is crossed with a parent that is homozygous for the recessive trait What percentage of the offspring will display the dominant trait?
100% of the offspring will display the dominant trait because the homozygous dominant parent can only pass on the dominant allele. The offspring will inherit one dominant allele from the dominant parent and one recessive allele from the recessive parent, resulting in a heterozygous genotype expressing the dominant trait.
A mother that is heterozygous for a trait and a father who is homozygous recessive for the same trait have offspring Use this information to complete the matching below Enter the letter of the item?
A. Offspring with heterozygous genotype 100 percent B. Offspring with homozygous dominant genotype 0 percent C. Offspring with at least one copy of recessive gene 50 percent
The recessive traits reappeared in the F2 generation in approximately 25 percent of the plants?
50% because it divided half to
What is the result of a cross between an individual who is homozygous dominant and another who is homozygous recessive for a trait?
All the offspring will be heterozygous with a phenotype showing the dominant trait. Let the alleles be H (dominant) and h (recessive). All the gametes from the first individual will be H, and from the other, h. Thus all the offspring must be Hh.
If about 50 percent of the offspring have the dominant phenotype and 50 percent have the recessive phenotype what are the genotype of the parents?
If 50% of the offspring show the dominant phenotype and 50% show the recessive phenotype, it is likely that one parent is heterozygous (Aa) for the trait and the other parent is homozygous recessive (aa). This would result in a 1:1 ratio of offspring showing each phenotype.
What is the probaility that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual will exhibit the dominant phenotype?
100 percent.

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.
