Question

Alleles: H=hearing h=deaf

Genotypes/Phenotypes: HH=hearing Hh=hearing (h carrier). hh=deaf

Below is how you would set up this problem: ​Fill out a Punnett square to help you answer the question.

H h
H __ __
h __ __
What percentage of offspring would be deaf?

25%
50%
75%
100%

Answer 1

3/4 (3 out of 4) of the genotypes are deaf. 3/4 is also equal to 75%. So 75% of the offspring produced will be deaf.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way the punnet squares work is the top allele on the left combines with the left allele on the top, the top allele on the left is combined with the top allele on the right, the bottom allele on the left is combined with the top allele on the left, the bottom allele on the left is combined with the top allele on the right. I hope this makes sense

Answer 2

I think it would be 50% but I’m sorry if it’s wrong
