A salmon is genetically modified in a laboratory by inserting one gene into one chromosome of a homologous pair. The salmon escapes, and breeds with a wild, unmodified salmon. Would you expect all of the offspring to be genetically modified? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:
