A female is homozygous for a recessive trait while the male is homozygous dominant for the same
trait (RR). What percentage of their offspring would be expected to exhibit the dominant traite?

Respuesta :

Answer

100 percent

Explanation:

If you cross rr and RR you get four offspring with the trait Rr. Since there is one capital letter, they will all exhibit the dominant trait. Hope this helped!

Answer:

Heterozygous means that the father has one dominant gene for tongue-rolling, and one recessive gene for non-tongue-rolling. The mother is homozygous recessive, meaning she has two copies of the non-tongue-rolling gene. This means that every child is guaranteed a non-rolling gene from their mother, and they have a 50% chance of inheriting a rolling gene from their father. Since the rolling gene is dominant, only one copy of the gene is required to show the trait, so the 50% of children with the rolling gene from their father will be able to roll their tongues. The answer is 50% of offspring.
