Assume that (B) is dominant and (b) is recessive: Bb mates with Bb
A. About 50% of the offspring will show the recessive trait
B. All the offspring will show the dominant trait
C. All the offspring will show the recessive trait
D. About 75% of the offspring will show the dominant trait


Sagot :

All the offspring will show the recessive trait

If B is dominant over b and Bb mates with Bb, about 75% of the offspring will show the dominant trait.

Looking at the cross:

                    Bb     x     Bb

                   BB   Bb   Bb   bb

BB and Bb will show the dominant trait while only bb will show the recessive trait.

Thus, the chances of the offspring showing the dominant trait would be 3/4 or 75% while the chances of showing the recessive trait would be 1/4 or 25%
