Which of the following correctly describes the genotype and phenotype of the parents of a child with a recessive trait? a) 100% b) 50% c) 25% d) 0%
sorry wrong answer choices, here are the correct ones a) both parents are homozygous for the recessive allele, and have the trait b) both parents are homozygous for the recessive allele, but do not have the trait c) both parents are heterzygous for the recessive allele, and have the trait d) both parents are heterzygous for the recessive allele, but do not have the trait
help me please
ok, logically c and d dont work, because u cant be hetero for the recessive trait, only for the dominant, and u cant be homo for the recessive trait, but not have the trait, so id wager A
So the answe is A
yes, can i have a medal?
Could you help me with a few more
sure
ok, hold on it will take a while and yes i will
a long haired cat is crossed with a heterozygous short haired cat. What percentage of their offspring will have long hair? a) 100% b) 50% c) 25% d) 0%
the long hair is recessive homozygous, and the second is hetero, so it gives u a 50 50 for both, so B.
In humans, having dimples is a dominant trait. If one parent has dimples and is homozygous for the trait and one parent does not have dimples, what are the chances of their offspring NOT having dimples? a) 100% b) 50% c) 25% d) 0%
RR and rr via punnet square creates 50% dominant homo, and 50% hetero, so 0% homo recessive, so id say d
i have two more to ask, is that ok
sure
sure
k in humans, having more than five fingers or toes is dominant over having exactly five fingers or toes. Which of the following situations would result in half of a couples offspring having six digits and half of them having five? a) both parents are homozygous for the recessive trait b) both parents are heterozygous c) one parent is heterozygous while the other is homozygous for the recessive trait d) one parents is homozygous for the recessive trait while the other is homozygous for the dominant trait
this is a repeat of the cat hair question, its c, its just the other way around.
White skin (W) is dominant over yellow skin (w) in chickens. Which of the following genotypes would result in a white skinned chicken that could possibly have yellow skinned offspring? a) WW b) Ww c) ww
srry, had to go afk, so, Ww is hetero, and all hetero have the dominant trait.
Id say B
