Genetic probabilities of offspring based on the inputs of the parents genotypes


Why do you not look excactly like your parents?

you do not look exactly like either of your parents because you are a combination of both your parents and take traits from each of them so you look like a mix. Also if you have traits that neither of your parents have it is because you are homozygous for a recessive trait that both your parents were carriers for. note: If you have two white parents and look half black your mom likes to party.


In dogs short hair is dominant over long hair. Two short haired dogs are the parents of a litter of eight puppies. Six puppies have short hair and two have long hair. What are the genotypes of parents?

Well, it really depends. You have to look at their pedigree and find out if anyone in their family has long hair. Such as the grandpa or grandma. 2 short hair dachsunds had 4 puppies. 3 were short haired and one was long. Their next litter was 2:2 and their last litter was 2:2 again. The dads parents both had long hair.


What does genotypic ratio mean?

genotype means genetic make up. it can give the information about the parents wether they were homozygous or heterzygousAnswer (Improved)A genotypic ratio is the proportion of genotypes found in individuals after a cross. For example, consider a cross between two heterozygous individuals for trait A: Aa X AaThe result is a 1:2:1 ratio for the genotypes AA, Aa, and AA respectively. Put another way, if the parents had 100 offspring, 25 would be expected to have the genotype AA, 50 the genotype Aa and 25 the genotype AA.This is hard Good Luck


Can Owls eat dog food?

My owl is eating it! But you have to soak dog food in water, first. They are also known to eat carrion (roadkill) but ask your parents first regarding this method! Roadkill or carrion may possibly be contaminated with pesticides or disease(s).

How are the genotype and phenotype of parents related to the genotype and phenotypes of offsprings?

The parents can pass on only the alleles of their genotypes to their offspring. Therefore, the offspring genotypes and phenotypes are dependent solely upon the alleles inherited from the parents.

What is a punnett square used to predict?

A Punnett square is used to lay out the possible genotypes of offspring based on the genotypes of the parents being bred. From this, the probabilities of certain phenotypes and genotypes can be determined.


What percentage of possibles types of offspring had the same genotype as the parents?

That depends entirely on the genotypes of the parents.
