If all of your offspring is dominant after you cross a dominant and recessive parent what is the genotype of the dominant parent?

In: Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

The dominant parent is most likely homozygous dominant, and the recessive parent has only the homozygous genotype. So the dominant parent can pass on only dominant alleles for this trait, and the recessive parent can pass on only recessive alleles for this trait. So all of the offspring would be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
