Question

Alleles: H=hearing h=deaf

Genotypes/Phenotypes: HH=hearing Hh=hearing(carrier of deafness). 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 have hearing, but carry the allele for deafness?

0%
25%
50%
75%

Answer 1

Answer :
The genotypes would be HH, Hh, Hh, Hh. So there would be one person that is hearing who is not a carrier, 2 people who are hearing but are carriers, and 1 person who is deaf. So there is a 50% that the offspring will be hearing and a carrier.

Answer 2

The genotypes from the punnet's square are: HH, Hh, Hh, hh

So the answer is 50%!
