If an individual has a dominant phenotype for a trait and produces an offspring with a recessive phenotype, which of the following is true.
00:09
So first we have, the offspring must have at least one dominant allele.
00:14
This is incorrect because it tells us that the offspring has a recessive phenotype.
00:20
And in order for that recessive phenotype to show both alleles have to be recessive.
00:25
If there was at least one dominant allele, then the dominant phenotype would show.
00:30
Number one is incorrect.
00:32
Number two, the dominant parent is heterozygous.
00:36
So this would be correct.
00:38
Hederozygous meaning different alleles.
00:40
So if i just use the letter h to show the genotype and the allele, if the dominant parent was heterozygous, one dominant, one recessive, then they have this recessive allel to pass down to their offspring.
00:58
Because like we mentioned before, the offspring, their genotype is recessive for both alleles.
01:08
And this offspring got this recessive from one parent and this recessive from the other parent.
01:15
So that means both parents have to have at least one recessive allele in order to produce this recessive offspring.
01:22
So the dominant parent has to be heterozygous.
01:25
And then to double check their other answers, the other parent must have.
01:29
Have the recessive phenotype.
01:31
That is incorrect because we could cross two heterozygous parents, giving them, making them both dominant, but still able to produce this recessive offspring.
01:47
Number four, we can't determine the genotype of the dominant parent, and that is incorrect.
01:52
We already know that it is heterozygous.
01:54
So next question, which of the following phenotype shows up more often in human males than in human females? so the correct answer is number two, colorblindness, because it is a recessive x -linked trait.
02:12
And females, they have an x -x chromosome.
02:19
So colorblindness is recessive.
02:22
So that means that they have at least one dominant allele on either one of these x's.
02:26
They are not going to be colorblind.
02:28
Whereas males are x, y...
