What is the probability of the child inheriting the trait?

a) 0%
b) 25%
c) 50%
d) 75%

Answer 1

The probability of the child inheriting the trait is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the child inheriting the trait can be determined by using Punnett squares. In this case, the father's alleles are Mm and the mother's alleles are Mרח. To determine the probability, we need to create a Punnett square to cross the alleles. The resulting genotypes are MM, Mm, Mרמ, and Mח. Since MM and Mm individuals both express the dominant trait, the probability of the child inheriting the trait is 75%, which corresponds to option d) 75%.
