Let's see what combinations can be formed.
HH, HH, Hh, Hh.
So, yes their offspring can contain the recessive allele.
(THe offspring can be a carrier of the recessive allele.)
However, since it is impossible for the offspring to be homozygous recessive,
the recessive trait/gene will not show in the offspring's phenotype.
Hope that helps!

The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
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.
Straight thumbs, hitch hiker's thumb is recessive...so the F1 generation in this example would be heterozygous and have the dominant (straight thumbed) phenotype.
well, it depends on the genes of the parents
100 percent.
