Answer:
B) 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Recessive alleles need two be present in both homologous chromosomes to express and to observe the phenotype they determine in the individual.
The possible genotypes and phenotypes for fur pigmentation in tigers are:
- aa: white
- Aa: normal
- AA: normal
The phenotypically normal heterozygous tiger is Aa and is crossed with a white tiger aa.
The Aa tiger produces 1/2 A gametes and 1/2 a. The aa tiger only produces a gametes.
The possible offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:
- 1/2 Aa: normal
- 1/2 aa: white
So 1/2 = 50% of the offspring will be white.
