Question

Fill in the Punnett square for a cross between the following individuals.

Aa x aa – dominant trait is red, recessive trait is white

Answer 1

Stole the image from the question directly above yours. 50% of the offspring are heterozygous (Aa) and red. The other 50% are homozygous recessive (aa) and white.

Answer 2

50% of the offspring will have the "Aa" alleles and for this reason they will have the dominant, red characteristic.

50% of the offspring will have the "aa" alleles and for this reason, they will have a white, recessive characteristic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The punnet square shown in the question above is filled in the figure attached below. In it, we can see that the cross between a living being with the "Aa" alleles and a living being with the "aa" alleles would result in 50% "Aa" and 50% "aa" offspring. Those who have the dominant allele "A" will have a dominant characteristic of red color, while those who do not have the dominant allele, will have a recessive characteristic of white.
