Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

This question involves a single gene with two alleles W and w in puppies. According to the question, the genotype of the parent organisms are Ww. In a cross between the two parents i.e. Ww × Ww, the following gametes will be produced by each parent: W and w.

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotype of offsprings will be produced: WW, Ww, Ww, ww. Hence, based on this question, the percentage of puppies that would have the same genotype as the parents, Ww are 1/2 × 100% = 50%.
