0 (there is no chance it will be short since tall is dominant over short).

Hope this helps!

What is the probability of offspring for 2 heterozygous dogs?

There are 3 probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.


What is the probability of 2 heterozygous individuals producing a heterozygous recessive offspring?

The probability is 50%. There are four probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.


What is crossing a homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive with a heterozygous?

There is a 50% chance of a homozygous dominant and a 50% chance of a heterozygous.


How do two heterozygous organisms produce on offspring with a recessive phenotype?

There are two forms of Homozygous inheritance: Homozygous Dominant, and Homozygous Recessive. In order for two parents that are Homozygous to produce a Heterozygous offspring, one of them MUST be Homozygous Dominant, and the other MUST be Homozygous Recessive.


What is the percentage of offspring that will exhibit the dominant trait from A crossing of A homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual?

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.


From the cross AA x AA the probability of producing a homozygous dominant offspring is?

From the cross Aa x Aa, the probability of producing a homozygous dominant offspring is 1/4 or (0.25).


What is the offspring if you cross two heterozygous Tt tall plants?

You get one homozygous dominant (TT), one homozygous recessive (tt), and two heterozygous (Tt).


What are the names of the genotypes?

Homozygous dominant (Ex:AA) Heterozygous (Ex:Aa) Homozygous recessive (Ex:aa)


What is the probabilty that the offspring of a homozygous domiant idiviual and a homozygous recessive indiviual will exbhit the domaint phenotype?

100% heterozygous dominant


In crossing a homozygous recessive with a heterozygote what is the chance of getting a homozygous recessive phenotype in the F1 generation?

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.


How would a recessive trait show up in a cross between two individuals with a dominant phenotype?

If both the individuals are heterozygous dominant then the probability of recessive (homozygous) phenotypic offspring would be 1:4


What is the difference between a homozygous trait and a heterozygous trait and can you please provide an example for each?

a homozygous trait is when an offspring has either both dominant genes or both recessive genes from its parents. a heterozygous trait is when an offspring has both dominant and recessive genes. for example: a long-tailed cat is dominant and a short-tailed cat is recessive. the long-tailed cat (homozygous dominant) had offsprings with the short-tailed cat (homozygous recessive). by doing the punnett square, 100% of their offspring will be heterozygous.
