You make a Punnett square for a cross and find the results shown below. Your prediction is that of the offspring would have the dominant phenotype, and of the offspring would have the recessive phenotype.
Answers
in this question, one parent is homozygous recessive (bbee) and other parent is dihybrid (BbEe)
B - black fur dominant trait
b - white fur recessive
E- black eyes dominant
e - red eyes recessive
a punnett square shows all the possible combinations of genotypes with the corresponding phenotypes that the offspring could inherit.
the genotypes and their phenotypes for the offspring are given below ;
BBEE / BbEe / BbEE / BBEe - black fur and black eyes
Bbee / BBee - black fur and red eyes
bbee - white fur and red eyes
bbEe / bbEE - white fur and black eyes
after analysing the punnett square the following results are obtained;
black fur and black eyes - BbEe- 4/16
black fur and red eyes -Bbee - 4/16
white fur and black eyes - bbEe - 4/16
white fur and red eyes -bbee - 4/16
Answer: 75% dominant 25% recessive
