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.
5 An F1 plant that is homozygous for shortness is crossed with a heterozygous F1 plant What is the probability that a seed from the cross will produce a tall plant?
there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be tall.
In certain plants tall is dominant to short If a heterozygous plant is crossed with a homozygous tall plant what is the probability that the offspring will be short?
0 (there is no chance it will be short since tall is dominant over short). Hope this helps! - Biology Student
An individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring has a 50% chance of the dominate trait (while being heteroygous) and a 50% chance of having the recessive trait ( homozygous recessive).
What is probability that two heterozygous parents would have an offspring that produced round seeds?
It is a 75% chance that the seeds will be round.
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 the probability of offspring for 2 heterozygous dogs?
The probability of offspring for two heterozygous dogs (Aa x Aa) is 25% homozygous dominant (AA), 50% heterozygous (Aa), and 25% homozygous recessive (aa) based on Mendelian genetics principles.
What is the probability of a heterhomozygous offspring?
Impossible. You can only be heterozygous or homozygous, not both.
What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?
A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.
What is the probability that an individual heterozygous for a cleft chin and individual homozygous for chin without cleft will produce offsprings that are homozygous recessive for chin without cleft?
If the individual heterozygous for a cleft chin mates with an individual homozygous for chin without a cleft, their offspring can inherit their recessive allele for chin without a cleft. This would make their offspring homozygous recessive for chin without a cleft. The probability of this occurring is 50%.
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.
To determine if a particular plant is homozygous or heterozygous you would have to test cross with a what?
To determine if a plant is homozygous or heterozygous, you would need to test cross it with a homozygous recessive plant. If the offspring show the recessive trait, the original plant is heterozygous; if all offspring show the dominant trait, the original plant is homozygous.
What is the probabilty that the offspring of a homozygous domiant idiviual and a homozygous recessive indiviual will exbhit the domaint phenotype?
If one parent is homozygous dominant (AA) and the other parent is homozygous recessive (aa), all offspring will inherit one dominant allele and display the dominant phenotype. Therefore, the probability of their offspring exhibiting the dominant phenotype is 100%.
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.
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.
If 240 plant offspring were produced from crossing two heterozygous plants how many would be homozygous?
Out of the 240 offspring, approximately 60 would be homozygous (25% of 240). This is because when two heterozygous plants are crossed (Aa x Aa), the Punnett square shows that 25% of the offspring will be homozygous dominant (AA), 50% will be heterozygous (Aa), and 25% will be homozygous recessive (aa).
5 An F1 plant that is homozygous for shortness is crossed with a heterozygous F1 plant What is the probability that a seed from the cross will produce a tall plant?
there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be tall.
