1 Answer. 25% of the heterozygous cross are short, and the offspring of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive pea plant will always display the dominant trait (phenotype), because they are heterozygous.

A pea plant could have a copy of the height gene that coded for “tall” and a copy of the same gene that coded for “short.” But the tall allele is “dominant,” meaning that a tall-short allele combination would result in a tall plant.

Yes, short parents regularly do have a tall child. However, there are over 700 genes that play a role, making height difficult to predict. Complete nutrition during development also results in taller children, though not taller than the determining genetic factors.

I would imagine a little under 6 foot tall, like 5′11′’ or 5′10′’. by 14 or 15 years old he prob got his growth spurt and grew like 4, 5 inches. and by 17 or 18 he finally became like 6′5′’, 6′6′’.

The key principles of Mendelian inheritance are summed up by Mendel’s three laws: the Law of Independent Assortment, Law of Dominance, and Law of Segregation.

Explanation: The probability of an offspring in F2 generation that exhibits dominant traits for both characteristics (green pod and tall pod shape) is 9/16. The probability of one dominant and one recessive trait (either greed pod color and short OR yellow pod and tall) is 3/16.

There is a 50% chance that the child does not obtain the allele needed for dimples (dd), and a 50% chance that the child is heterozygous (Dd). Because dimples is an autosomal dominant trait, heterozygosity will express dimples, leading to a 50% chance that the child will have dimples.

The Punnett square below makes it clear that at each birth, there will be a 25% chance of you having a normal homozygous (AA) child, a 50% chance of a healthy heterozygous (Aa) carrier child like you and your mate, and a 25% chance of a homozygous recessive (aa) child who probably will eventually die from this …

The chance of either parent being a heterozygote is 1/4, as calculated above. Then, the probability that both parents are heterozygotes, and the probability that two heterozygotes will have a heterozygous child, is 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/32.

When true-breeding, or homozygous, individuals that differ for a certain trait are crossed, all of the offspring will be heterozygous for that trait. If the traits are inherited as dominant and recessive, the F1 offspring will all exhibit the same phenotype as the parent homozygous for the dominant trait.

Children often look like some combination of their parents. This is because each parent gives the child some of themselves {gene}. A child is made from the information found in the cells of the parents. These characteristics are called genes.

When you’re heterozygous for a specific gene, it means you have two different versions of that gene. The dominant form can completely mask the recessive one, or they can blend together. In some cases, both versions appear at the same time.

​Heterozygous Heterozygous refers to having inherited different forms of a particular gene from each parent. A heterozygous genotype stands in contrast to a homozygous genotype, where an individual inherits identical forms of a particular gene from each parent.

Heterozygous means that an organism has two different alleles of a gene. For example, pea plants can have red flowers and either be homozygous dominant (red-red), or heterozygous (red-white). If they have white flowers, then they are homozygous recessive (white-white). Carriers are always heterozygous.

Heterozygous is a term used in genetics to describe when two variations of a gene (known as alleles) are paired at the same location (locus) on a chromosome. By contrast, homozygous is when there are two copies of the same allele at the same locus.

When one of the inherited alleles is A and the other is B, the genotype is heterozygous and the blood type is AB. AB blood type is an example of co-dominance since both traits are expressed equally. Type A: The genotype is either AA or AO.

Heterozygotes can get genetic disease, but it depends on the type of disease. In some types of genetic diseases, a heterozygous individual is almost certain to get the disease. In diseases caused by what are called dominant genes, a person needs only one bad copy of a gene to have problems.

Individuals with curly hair are homozygous for curly hair alleles. Individuals who are heterozygous, with one of each allele have wavy hair, which is a blend of the expressions of the curly and straight hair alleles.

Curly hair can be frustrating, agonizing, and at times wholly upsetting. But ultimately, us curly-haired humans were given these quirky manes for a reason. Until you accept your curly hair for what it is, these situations might seem weird and annoying, but they’re actually 100 percent common.
