How many phenotypes can come from a heterozygous parent and a homozygous recessive parent?

Two types:
A heterozygous parent (Aa) and a homoygous recessive parent (aa) can produce phenotypically dominate and phenotpically recessive offspring (with 50% genotypes Aa and the other 50% aa).
If the genes are co-dominate then the offspring can have blended traits and recessive traits phenotypically.

What percentage of genotypes would most likely be found in the f1 generation offspring?
If the parent generation consisted of a homozygous dominant parent and a homozygous recessive parent, then the F1 generation would be 100% heterozygous.
Is it true that people who are heterozygous recessive allele but who have a normal phenotype eill not pass the harmful recessive allele to their kids?
It depends on the genotype of the childs other parent. If your partner is heterozygous as well then there is a 25% chance your child will be homozygous recessive. If they are homozygous dominant then none of your children will have the phenotype of the recessive trait. They will just possibly be carriers of the recessive allele.
What is the difference between a herezygous and a homozygous?
"Heterozygous" and "homozygous" are terms that refer to alleles, which, in genetics determine what trait, from which parent, will appear in the offspring. Alleles can be either Dominant or Recessive. Every organism has two alleles, which can both be dominant, both recessive, or one of each.So,If an organism heterozygous, it has one recessive and one dominant allele.If an organism is homozygous then both of its alleles are the same; you need to specify if they are homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive) or homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant).
What are the possible offspring outcome if parent one Tt crosses with parent to tt?
A heterozygous cross.Tt X TtOne homozygous dominant--TTTwo heterozygous dominant---TtOne homozygous recessive--ttAll on a statistical average outcome.
Why is an organism genotype may be homozygous dominant homozygous recessive or heterozygous but never heterozygous recessive?
I take it you're referring to the phenotype. Say a trait, like flower colour, is influenced by a single gene. The plant will possess two copies of the gene, one from each parent, but only one colour is expressed. Let's say that red is dominant and white is recessive. A plant containing 2 red alleles (homozygous for the dominant allele) will be red. A plant containing 2 copies of the white allele (Homozygous recessive) will be white and heterozygous plant, containing a single copy of both alleles will be red. There is no heterozygous recessive because the dominant allele will determine the phenotype.
In crossing a homozygous recessive with a heterozygote what is the chance of getting a homozygous recessive phenotype in the F1 generation?
1/2 or 50%. The homozygous recessive gentoype contains two recessive alleles for the gene for a trait. So the homozygous recessive individual can pass on only recessive alleles to an offspring. The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.
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 can you predict about the offspring if you know the genotypes of the parents?
So, if one parent is Aa (heterozygous) and the other parent is aa (homozygous recessive) the punnett square would look like this: ___|_A__|__a_ _a_|_Aa_|_aa_ _a_|_Aa_|_aa_ The genotypes of the offspring 50% heterozygous and 50% homozygous recessive
What is the name for a cross between an individual of unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive?
A cross between a homozygous recessive and an individual of unknown genotype is called a test cross.The homozygous recessive can only pass on a recessive allele to the offspring, and so any recessive in the other parent will show up in the phenotype (detectable characteristics) of some of the offspring.
What percentage of genotypes would most likely be found in the f1 generation offspring?
If the parent generation consisted of a homozygous dominant parent and a homozygous recessive parent, then the F1 generation would be 100% heterozygous.

What is the probability that an individual heterozygous for a cleft chin and individual homozygous for chin without cleft will produce offsprings that are homozygous recessive for chin without cleft?
The probability that an individual heterozygous for a cleft chin and an individual homozygous for a chin without a cleft will produce offspring that are homozygous recessive for a chin without a cleft is fifty percent. You can calculate this by making a Punnet square.
What happens to the alleles between the P generation and the F2 generation?
In the P generation, one parent is homozygous dominant and the other parent is homozygous recessive. In the F1 generation, the product of a cross between the P generation, the offspring are all heterozygous. In the F2 generation, the product of a cross between the F1 generation, the expected result is 1/4 homozygous dominant, 1/2 heterozygous, and 1/4 homozygous recessive.
What happens to alleles between the p generation and F2 generation?
