Question

A dominant allele (K) is necessary for normal hearing; kk individuals are deaf. A dominant allele (M) on a different locus results in deafness no matter which other alleles are present. If a kkMm individual is crossed with a Kkmm individual, _______ percent of the offspring will be deaf. 75 100 0 25 50

Answer 1

75 % will be deaf

Step-by-step explanation:

K is dominat allele kk are deaf

M results in deafness

So cross between kkMm x Kkmm

Alleles will be kM x Km

k M

K Kk MK

M Mk MM

Kk normal

MK deaf

Mk deaf

MM deaf

so 75% deaf and 25 % normal
