According to the Punnett Square, what is the probability of an offspring being
white?
a. 0%
b. 25%
C. 50%
d. 75%
e. 100%​

Answer 1

Hello!

The answer is a. 0%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a monohybrid cross between two wild type dominant and recessive characters. The wild type dominant, PP crosses with the wild type recessive, pp to produce the first filial generation which will be completely heterozygous dominant. Therefore, there is 0% probability that the offspring will be white.

The attached Punnett square will further elaborate the cross.
