Question

. What happens if you breed a patchwork fish with a fish that only has Blue Scales?
a. What is the probability of having fish with red scales? ________%
b. What is the probability of having fish with patchwork scales? _________%

Answer 1

Explanation:

a, 50%

b, 100% is the correct answer

Answer 2

50% is the probability of having fish with red scales.

100% is the probability of having fish with patchwork scales

Explanation:

Red scales:

• For the offspring, there is a 50% chance of blue scales and a 50% chance of patchwork blue and red scales.

• Both red and normally pigmented offspring will be produced by the select red brood fish. This is because red is the dominant phenotype, generated by the dominant R allele (RR and fir genotypes), but normal pigmentation is the recessive phenotype, produced by the recessive R allele (RR and fir genotypes) (rr genotype).

Patchwork Scales:

• The phenotype is the outward appearance of the genotype. Brown-eye phenotypes are found in individuals with the genotypes 'BB' and 'Bb,' whereas a child with two blue-eye alleles and the genotype 'bb' has blue eyes and a blue-eye phenotype.
