A scientist is studying a cross between plants that are heterozygous (Xx) for a certain trait. She will use a table similar to this one to make a Punnett square for the cross. (imma draw it gimme a minute)

boredfr:

|dw:1618534707045:dw| I dont understand leh question

MrMudd183:

So the scientist is only using heterozygous gened plants? (Xx)

boredfr:

That's what it says?

boredfr:

Idk tbh I dont understand any of it

MrMudd183:

Yea, it's said within the first sentance "A scientist is studying a cross between plants that are heterozygous (Xx) for a certain trait."

boredfr:

e.e ok then If it is only the h-word then would that make it 100%?

MrMudd183:

Depends on how the genes come out of the punnetsquare, give me a minute to work it out

MrMudd183:

If she is looking for the (XX) gene percentage, then it's 25% If she is looking for the (Xx) gene percentage, then it's 50% But if she is looking for the (xx) gene percentage, then it's 25%

MrMudd183:

It all depends on the gene combination she is looking for

boredfr:

A ._.

boredfr:

The first box

boredfr:

So 25%?

MrMudd183:

She is looking for the homozygous trait, then you are correct *homozygous is like (XX) or (YY)*

boredfr:

So it is 25%?

MrMudd183:

Yep, you are correct
