25% of the offspring will have the recessive genotype for hair colour.
A homozygous recessive genotype can be identified when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele for a particular gene. This means that both alleles for that gene are the same and are both the recessive form. This genotype will typically show the recessive trait associated with that allele.
In a test cross, one individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. The genotype of the individual with the dominant phenotype can then be inferred based on the phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
The ratio produced would be 1:1 for heterozygous (Tt) offspring to homozygous recessive (tt) offspring. This is because the parent with genotype Tt will pass on one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t) to its offspring, resulting in a 50% chance of either genotype in the offspring.
RrYy. This is because the first parent is homozygous dominant for both traits (R and Y), while the second parent is homozygous recessive for both traits (r and y). Therefore, all offspring will inherit one dominant allele (R and Y) and one recessive allele (r and y) for each trait.
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.

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.
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.

The genotype of the offspring would be TtRr, representing that each parent contributed one dominant and one recessive allele for each gene.
In a test cross, one individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. The genotype of the individual with the dominant phenotype can then be inferred based on the phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
The ratio produced would be 1:1 for heterozygous (Tt) offspring to homozygous recessive (tt) offspring. This is because the parent with genotype Tt will pass on one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t) to its offspring, resulting in a 50% chance of either genotype in the offspring.
If one parent has a PP genotype, the offspring will inherit the P allele from that parent. Therefore, the probability of the offspring inheriting a PP genotype is 1.
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.
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.
RrYy. This is because the first parent is homozygous dominant for both traits (R and Y), while the second parent is homozygous recessive for both traits (r and y). Therefore, all offspring will inherit one dominant allele (R and Y) and one recessive allele (r and y) for each trait.
