Answer:

The offspring will also be white and homozygous.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two cats are white and homozygous where the gene B is for black color and dominant, gene b is for white color and recessive. In this case the genotypes of the two cats are going to be "bb" which can only lead to the same genotypes and phenotypes in their offspring. They will also be white and homozygous.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

Genotype of offspring: bb

Phenotype of offspring: white

Percentage of white offspring: 100%

Percentage of black offspring: 0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Black with allele B is dominant to white with allele b.

Homozygous white will have the genotype bb.

Crossing two homozygous white cats:

bb x bb = bb, bb, bb, and bb

All the offspring will be homozygous white with bb genotype.

Percentage of the offspring that are white = 100%

Percentage of the offspring that are black = 0%
