Do Parents with the dominant phenotype cannot have offspring with the recessive phenotypeous for a trait that is?
No. Parents with the dominant phenotype might be heterozygous in their genotype. This means they could carry both the dominant and recessive allele for a trait. So they could both pass the recessive allele to an offspring, who would then have the homozygous recessive genotype and recessive phenotype.
How do two heterozygous organisms produce on offspring with a recessive phenotype?
There are two forms of Homozygous inheritance: Homozygous Dominant, and Homozygous Recessive. In order for two parents that are Homozygous to produce a Heterozygous offspring, one of them MUST be Homozygous Dominant, and the other MUST be Homozygous Recessive.
If both parents are heterozygous for polydactyly what percentage of offspring will exhibit polydactyly?
There is a 25% chance that the offspring will exhibit polydactyly if both parents are heterozygous for the trait.
If a child has blond hair and both of her parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blond hair?
Both of the parents were heterozygous with the blonde hair allele, which is recessive. When there are two parents that are heterozygous, there is a 25% chance their offspring will get two of the recessive alleles. A punnett square can be useful when determining the different phenotypes and genotypes possible in offspring
Is it possible for two parents with a yellow body color to have a blue offspring?
If they both are heterozygous and the recessive gene is blue it can happen
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.
Which type of cross would produce 100 percent heterozygous offspring?
A cross between two homozygous parents will form a 100 percent chance of a heterozygous offspring. One homozygous parent must have the dominant allele, and the other must have the recessive allele. So, if the circumstances are correct, these characteristics will make for a 100 percent chance of a heterozygous offspring.
What is the likelihood that two individual heterozygous for a mutation will have a child who expresses that genetic defects?
there is a 1/4 chance that the offspring will have two dominant genes for that effect, a 2/4 chance that they will be heterozygous like their parents and a 1/4 chance that they will have two recessive genes. If this mutation is the recessive, then the likelihood of the offspring expressing will be 1/4
What was the genotype of the offspring the did not share the parents' phenotype?
If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.
What was the phenotype of the offspring that did not share of the parents phenotype?
If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.
What is the difference between purebred organism and a hybrid?
A purebred organism is the offspring of two homozygous parents, having either two dominant alleles, AA or two recessive alleles, aa. A hybrid is the offspring of two heterozygous parents, Aa.
In guinea pigs black hair color is dominant B and white hair color is recessive b What hair color are the guinea pigs offspring?
To determine the hair color of the guinea pigs' offspring, we need to know the genotypes of the parents. If one parent is homozygous dominant (BB) and the other is homozygous recessive (bb), all offspring will be heterozygous (Bb) and will have black hair. If both parents are heterozygous (Bb), approximately 25% of the offspring are expected to be homozygous dominant (BB), 50% heterozygous (Bb), and 25% homozygous recessive (bb), resulting in a 75% chance of black hair and a 25% chance of white hair.
