The probability of having a blue-eyed child depends on the genetic makeup of the parents. If both parents carry the recessive allele for blue eyes (Bb), where "B" represents the brown eye allele and "b" represents the blue eye allele, there is a 25% chance of having a blue-eyed child (bb). If one or both parents have brown eyes but carry the blue eye allele, the probability may vary. If neither parent has the blue eye allele, the probability of having a blue-eyed child is 0%.
The probability is 3/4 or 75%. If both parents are heterozygous for the seed shape trait (e.g., Rr), there is a 50% chance that each parent will pass on the dominant allele (R) for round seeds to the offspring. The probability of inheriting the dominant allele from both parents and producing round seeds is therefore (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4 or 25%. Since there are two possible ways to inherit the dominant allele (from either parent), the total probability is 2 x (1/4) = 1/2 or 50%.
Yes, an A+ parent and an O+ parent can have an A- baby. Blood type inheritance is determined by the ABO and Rh factor systems, where the ABO blood types are determined by alleles A, B, and O. The A+ parent can pass on either an A or O allele, while the O+ parent can only pass on an O allele. The combination of A from one parent and O from the other could result in an A blood type, and if the A+ parent carries the Rh negative factor, the baby could be A-.
If a homozygous black guinea pig (BB) is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig (bb), all offspring will inherit one black allele (B) from the black parent and one white allele (b) from the white parent, resulting in heterozygous offspring (Bb). Since black fur is dominant over white fur, all offspring will have black fur. Therefore, the probability of an offspring having black fur is 100%.
The probability of a child having wet earwax depends on the genetics of the parents. Wet earwax is typically governed by a dominant allele, while dry earwax is recessive. If both parents have wet earwax (and are either homozygous or heterozygous), the child will likely inherit the wet earwax trait. However, if one parent has dry earwax, the probability varies based on the genetic makeup of both parents.
The probability that the mother produces a gamete with the allele for dimples is 50%. This is because each parent only passes on one of their two alleles for a given trait to their offspring, and in this case, the mother has a 50% chance of passing on the allele for dimples.
The probability of inheriting two alleles from the same person is 0%. The probability of inheriting an allele from each parent is 100%. You need more information for a more exact answer.
A gamete containing a BB genotype will carry one B allele from each parent. This gamete will contribute one B allele to offspring during fertilization.
Oh, isn't that a happy little question! The probability of producing a gamete with the allele for attached earlobes depends on the individual's genetic makeup. If the individual is heterozygous for the trait (Aa), the probability would be 50%. If they are homozygous dominant (AA), the probability would be 0%, and if they are homozygous recessive (aa), the probability would be 100%. Just like painting, genetics can be a beautiful and fascinating landscape to explore.
They will produce gametes that are also homozygous.
There is only one allele for each trait that goes into a gamete. This happens after meiosis as well. This process allows for DNA to be the same over time as reproduction continues.
A gamete receives one of two genes from one parent and one of two genes from the other parent.
Mendel's Principle of Segregation states that during the formation of gametes, two alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. This explains how offspring inherit one allele from each parent.
The probability of inheriting a specific allele in a hybrid plant would be 1/2 or 50%, as each parent contributes one allele and there are two possible alleles for a specific gene. Each offspring has an equal chance of inheriting either allele from the parent.
The genotype of gametes produced by F1 individuals is a combination of the alleles inherited from the parental generation. Each gamete carries one allele from each parent, resulting in a variety of possible genotypes.
A dominant allele is expressed when an individual carries one or two copies of that allele. A recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele. Dominant alleles are typically passed on to offspring if at least one parent carries the dominant allele.
Mendel's law of segregation states that each organism carries two alleles for a trait, one from each parent, and during gamete formation, these alleles segregate randomly into separate gametes. This results in each gamete carrying only one allele for a given trait.
