Both parents in the example carry the dominant and the
recessive alleles for a trait (heterozygous). What is the
probability of the offspring expressing the recessive
phenotype?

Answer:

D, 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this with simple math! Since we have a 1:4 ratio of possibly expressing the recessive phenotype, we will do 1/4.

1/4 = .25

Then, we will multiply this by 100, which results in 25.
