From the cross Aa x Aa, the probability of producing a homozygous dominant offspring is 1/4 or (0.25).
50% will be tall
The probability that an offspring will have wrinkled seeds is 2 in 4 or 50%
It depends. If it's a heterozygous cross, (Tt x Tt), there's a 25% chance. If it's a homozygous dominant cross (TT x TT), the chance is 0%. Neither parent has the alleles for a recessive trait, so none of their offspring can have the recessive trait. If it's a homozygous recessive cross (tt x tt), there's a 100% chance. The only alleles the parents can pass on are recessive.
Here are the four possibilities: AA Aa Aa aa Therefore there is a 25% chance of producing a homozygous dominant offspring (AA).
The genotype of the tall pea plant is 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.
there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be tall.

Probability is the term for the chance that any specific genotype will occur in the offspring from the mating of parents. Typically the capital letter A (in this example) represents the dominant allele as opposed to the recessive allele. The probability of the possible genotypes in a monohybrid cross is 1AA:2Aa:1aa. The probability of AA is .25 or 25%.
The hybrid is the offspring so the probability is 1.
The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict the outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype.
50% of the rabbits will be cc and 50% of the rabbits will be Cc. The punnet square is simple because one rabbit is homozygous recessive and the other is heterozygous. The genotype is then defined by the heterozygous (Cc) rabbit.
false
A cross between a plant of unknown genotype and one that is known to be homozygous recessive is called a test cross because the recessive homozygote testswhether there are any recessive alleles in the unknown. Because the recessive homozygote will contribute an allele for the recessive characteristic to each offspring, the second allele (from the unknown genotype) will determine the offspring's phenotype.
Perform a test cross. Cross the organism with an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype and use the phenotypes of the offspring and a Punnett square to figure out the unknown genotype.
If both the individuals are heterozygous dominant then the probability of recessive (homozygous) phenotypic offspring would be 1:4
