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.
A test cross is used to determine the genotype of an organism exhibiting a dominant phenotype. By crossing this organism with a homozygous recessive individual, the offspring's phenotypes reveal whether the dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous. If any recessive phenotypes appear in the offspring, the dominant parent is heterozygous; if all offspring display the dominant phenotype, the parent is likely homozygous. This method is commonly employed in genetics to assess inheritance patterns.
If one parent is recessive for all traits (homozygous recessive) and the other is heterozygous for those traits, the offspring would display a mix of phenotypes. Each trait would have a 50% chance of being inherited as the dominant phenotype (from the heterozygous parent) and a 50% chance of being recessive (from the homozygous recessive parent). Therefore, the resulting smiley faces would likely show a combination of dominant and recessive traits, reflecting this genetic variation.
If one parent is homozygous recessive for all traits (genotype aa) and the other is heterozygous (genotype Aa), the offspring will inherit one allele from each parent. This means that each trait will have a 50% chance of being expressed as the dominant trait (A) and a 50% chance of being expressed as the recessive trait (a). Therefore, the baby could be either heterozygous (Aa) or homozygous recessive (aa) for each trait, resulting in a mix of dominant and recessive phenotypes. Overall, the baby will display characteristics based on the combination of alleles inherited from both parents.
If the parent generation consisted of a homozygous dominant parent and a homozygous recessive parent, then the F1 generation would be 100% heterozygous.
If one parent is homozygous dominant for all traits, they can only pass on dominant alleles, while the heterozygous parent can pass on either dominant or recessive alleles. This would result in a combination of offspring that are either homozygous dominant or heterozygous for each trait, but none would be homozygous recessive. Consequently, the overall phenotype of the smiley face would predominantly express the dominant traits.
The offspring will all inherit one copy of the dominant allele (from the heterozygous parent) and one copy of the recessive allele (from the homozygous recessive parent). This results in all offspring being heterozygous for the trait.
In a cross between a homozygous recessive parent (AA) and a heterozygous parent (Aa), the possible genotypes of the offspring are 50% homozygous recessive (AA) and 50% heterozygous (Aa). Therefore, the probability that an offspring will be homozygous recessive is 50%.

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.
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.
If one parent is recessive for all traits (homozygous recessive) and the other is heterozygous for those traits, the offspring would display a mix of phenotypes. Each trait would have a 50% chance of being inherited as the dominant phenotype (from the heterozygous parent) and a 50% chance of being recessive (from the homozygous recessive parent). Therefore, the resulting smiley faces would likely show a combination of dominant and recessive traits, reflecting this genetic variation.
If one parent is homozygous recessive for all traits (genotype aa) and the other is heterozygous (genotype Aa), the offspring will inherit one allele from each parent. This means that each trait will have a 50% chance of being expressed as the dominant trait (A) and a 50% chance of being expressed as the recessive trait (a). Therefore, the baby could be either heterozygous (Aa) or homozygous recessive (aa) for each trait, resulting in a mix of dominant and recessive phenotypes. Overall, the baby will display characteristics based on the combination of alleles inherited from both parents.
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.
If the parent generation consisted of a homozygous dominant parent and a homozygous recessive parent, then the F1 generation would be 100% heterozygous.
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.
If one parent is homozygous dominant for all traits, they can only pass on dominant alleles, while the heterozygous parent can pass on either dominant or recessive alleles. This would result in a combination of offspring that are either homozygous dominant or heterozygous for each trait, but none would be homozygous recessive. Consequently, the overall phenotype of the smiley face would predominantly express the dominant traits.
