Question

A homozygous recessive mom is crossed with a homozygous dominant dad. What is the probability that the offspring will have a recessive trait? What percentage of the offspring will be homozygous?
(there are no choice answers it's a written response. please help.) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A dominant trait can be described as a trait that suppresses the effect of a recessive trait. A recessive trait gets masked by a dominant trait.

In the scenario depicted in the question, there will be no chance that the offspring produced will carry the recessive trait of the mother. And there will be no chance that any of the offspring born will be homozygous for the trait. All of the offsprings produced from this cross will be heterozygous dominant.
