For the trait called “Darwin’s Tubercle”, the dominant form is noted as D and the recessive is noted as d. What are the possible genotypes of the offspring from a mating between the following individuals? DD x dd
Homework Answers
Answer #1
I've attached an image above for better understanding. The genotypes of the parents are DD and dd according to the question.
So if we cross these two parents, the genotype of every offspring will be dD (Can be written as Dd) since both are homozygous for their respective alleles. So all the offsprings will be hybrid and phenotypically will show dominant trait.
But since the question is asking only for Genotype, the genotype of every offspring will be Dd

In a particular plant, a recessive allele is associated with
white flowers (w). The dominant allele (W) results in purple
flowers. Two plants are crossed. The offspring are made up of 175
plants with purple flowers and 161 plants with white flowers. Using
the allele symbols shown above, the genotypes of the two parents
are Ww x ww. This mating is an example of a/an ?

The HAIR gene (abbreviated as H) controls hair color with the
dominant phenotype being dark brown hair and the recessive
phenotype being blonde hair. The WIDOW gene (abbreviated as W)
controls the presence of a ‘widows peak’ in the hairline (having a
point at the center of the hairline). Having a widows peak is
dominant and not having a widows peak is recessive. Gene H and Gene
W are linked genes. Two individuals with the genotypes indicated
