Question

What are the possible genotypes of the offspring from a mating of a person who is heterozygous for Hitchhiker's Thumb and a person who is homozygous recessive for Hitchhiker's Thumb. How many of the offspring out of the total possible genotypes will have hitchhikers thumb?

Answer 1

offspring= Hh and hh

Hh = 50%

hh= 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

in my answer I used H, but you can use any letter.

hitchhikers thumb is a recessive trait (only homozygous recessive can inherit it), so 1 out of 2 offspring will have the trait. (50% chance)

hope this helps!
