Start with the P generation with the following genotypes (AA x aa). Based on classical Mendelian inheritance, how will a cross between two homozygous parents, one dominant and one recessive, influence future generations?

Well the kids would be hetero and it would just depend on who they cross with after that

Answer:

Therefore 100% of the children will be heterozygous.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

According to Mendelian genetics, if one of the parents is a homozygous dominant (AA) and the other parent is a homozygous recessive (aa), the children will have:

The combinations would be:

Aa (with the first A and the first a)

Aa (with the first A and the second a)

Aa (with the second A and the first a)

Aa (with the second A and the second a)

Therefore 100% of the children will be heterozygous.

Then, they will depend on the genes of the person they cross.
