Question

Out of 200 offspring, how many will have dark bodies?

Answer 1

The number of offspring with dark bodies out of 200 could be either 50 or 100, based on the given scenarios where 25% or 50% of the offspring have dark bodies, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of offspring with dark bodies from 200 offspring, we need specific information about the genetic cross, such as the genotypes of the parents and the mode of inheritance of the dark body trait. However, using the general information provided, we can look at some possibilities:

• 
  
• If option C is the context, where 25% are black (dark bodies), then out of 200 offspring, 25% of 200 is 50 offspring with dark bodies.
• 
  
• If option D is the context, with 50% being black, then out of 200 offspring, 50% of 200 is 100 offspring with dark bodies.

Without more specific details about the context and assuming that 'black' refers to dark bodies, we have to consider both possibilities as the potential answer. Therefore, based on the information provided, the number of offspring with dark bodies could be either 50 or 100 out of 200, depending on the correct genetic cross scenario applicable to the question.
