A married couple plans to have children. The wife has blue eyes (a recessive trait) and her husband has brown eyes (a dominant trait). The husband’s mother had blue eyes. What percentage of their children could possibly have blue eyes?

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

The mom only carries the gene for blue eyes. The dad carries the gene for blue eyes, and the gene for brown eyes. So hypothetically speaking (because Punnet squares are only guesses/predictions) 75% of the kids could have blue eyes
