Question

The Punnett square predicts the ratio of genotypes in the offspring, based on the genotypes of the parents. The Punnett square below examines the chance of offspring having freckles, which is a dominant trait.

Based on the Punnett square, what is the probability that the offspring will have freckles?
25 percent
50 percent
75 percent
100 percent

Answer 1

Answer: 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

If a dominant allele is present in the genotype ex. Hh or HH the dominant allele will be visible in the phenotype

Answer 2

The Punnett square predicts the ratio of genotypes in the offspring, based on the genotypes of the parents. The Punnett square below examines the chance of offspring having freckles, which is a dominant trait.

Based on the Punnett square, what is the probability that the offspring will have freckles? 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the punnett square viewed, the freckles are inherited from on of the parent although it would be a recessive gene as the one without freckles as dominated over the freckles, hence; 100% of the offspring will have freckles but it would not be expressed phenotypically but as a recessive gene
