100% Heterozygous

Answer:

a) Ratio of homozygous to heterozygous offspring 1:1

b) Percentage of the offspring that are homozygous recessive 50%

Explanation:

When parents with genotype "Tt" and "tt" are crossed , the following offsprings are produced -

T t

t Tt tt

t Tt tt

The hetrozygous offsprings produced in this cross is Tt

The homozygous offsprings produced in this cross is tt

So,  the total number of hetrozygous offsprings = 2

The total number of homozygous offsprings = 2

a)

Ratio of homozygous to heterozygous offspring

[tex]\frac{2}{2}  = \frac{1}{1} \\[/tex]

b)

Percentage of the offspring that are homozygous recessive

[tex]\frac{2}{4}*100\\= 50[/tex]%
