Question

Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring?

A. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (75 percent Pp; 25 percent pp)
B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (25 percent PP; 50 percent Pp; 25 percent pp)
C. 50 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 50 percent chance of

Answer 1

trying doing it

Answer 2

and tell me what you got

Answer 3

Heterozygous means you have both the recessive and dominant genotypes.
That means the parents are having Pp genotype. But their phenotype is polka dotted tails. Because when an individual is heterozygous, it will show the dominant character.
To show recessive phenotype it should be pp

Answer 4

If you use a Punnett square and put Pp on the top and Pp on the side, you'll be able to find your answer.

Answer 5

Yeah exactly
