What is a chart that shows all possible allele combination resulting from a genetic cross?

A Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the possible genotypes of offspring in a genetic cross. It displays all possible combinations of alleles that parents can pass on to their offspring.


How can heredity illnesses be transmitted?

through heredity. so when a mommy and daddy love each other very much, they have a child... if you know the genetic frequency of the heritable trait, you can use mendellian genetics (punnent squares) to calculate the probability of the child (offspring) having that illness. try google-ing: "punnent squares" or "mendellian genetics"


What are punnent squares and how are they used?

Punnet squares are used mainly by doctors to determine a baby's chances of inherating an trait of disease from it's parents.


How does Punnent square of two dwarf look like?

A Punnett square for two dwarfs would show the possible combinations of alleles for the dwarf trait. Since dwarfs are homozygous for the dwarf allele (dd), the Punnett square would always yield offspring with the genotype dd when crossed with another dwarf. Therefore, the Punnett square for two dwarfs would show all offspring as dwarfs with the genotype dd.


How can you predict the outcome of a genetic cross?

The outcome of a genetic cross can be predicted using Punnett squares, which show all possible allele combinations from the parents and the likelihood of those combinations in the offspring. By understanding the genetic makeup of the parents and the process of genetic inheritance, researchers can determine the probabilities of different traits appearing in the offspring.

Predict the results of a cross between a rabbit homozygous dominant for black coat BB and a rabbit homozygous recessive for brown coat color bb?

i think you are asking for the outcome of the offspring, yes? The meathod that i know is to use a punnent square. A punnet square uses the probability to test the genotype (genetic makeup) and phenotype (physical characteristics. You can Google "punnet square" if you wish, to get a full description and how to make one. Here are my results*: there is a... 100% chance of a baby black rabbit (assuming that the black hair is domonant) 75% chance the baby will be homozygous (domonant,pure) 25% chance the baby will be heterozygous (domonant, hybrid) *these results are very general and i am assuming that there is no blending of the traits. (like a gray bunny!) Hope this helped!


How many dominant alleles are required in a genotype to show the dominant phenotype?

If the allele is dominant, you only need one copy for it to be expressed in the phenotype (you have TWO alleles for each trait) If the allele is dominant, you only need one copy for it to be expressed in the phenotype (you have TWO alleles for each trait)


The unknown genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype can be determined using?

This question is worded weird, because if someone had a dominant phenotype, as in Brown eyes dominant, than they would be BB or Bb. The exact genotype would need to have a key to what one of their parents' genotype was. Example: If a man with brown eyes (dominant) had a mom with blue eyes (recessive) then what would the man's genotype be? the answer would be Bb because that means that the man's dad would have BB and mom would be bb and when using punnent square, his genotype is Bb (only possible genotype is Bb)
