Question

A Three-leaf clover is dominant (T) to four leaves (t). What is the probability of an offspring having 4 leaves when you cross a heterozygous clover with a four-leaf clover?
O 25%
O 50%
O 75%
O 0%

Answer 1

Answer:

%50

Explanation:

Heterozygous = 2 different alleles (Tt)

4 leaf clover = 2 recessive alleles (tt)

T is dominant over t, so with the combination of Tt three leaves are expressed, rather than four leaves

For a recessive trait (four leaves) to show 2 recessive alleles are needed

To find the percentage of the offspring to have four leaves a punnet square should be created

To find the percentage divide the number of four leaf offering with 4 and multiply by 100

2÷4×100=50

= 50%

Answer 2

It might be unhelpful to repeat the answer but it is B. 50%
