Answer :
Answer:
If a heterozygous male with the genotype Ww is mated with a homozygous recessive female of genotype ww, there is a chance that 50% of the offspring will be heterozygous.
If the heterozygous Ww is crossed with a homozygous dominant WW, then the probability of having a homozygous recessive offspring is 0%.
Explanation:
Heterozygous male (Ww) x Homozygous recessive female (ww):
The possible offspring genotypes are:
Ww (heterozygous) from W (father) and w (mother)
ww (homozygous recessive) from w (father) and w (mother)
The probability of offspring being heterozygous (Ww) is 50% because half of the possible combinations are Ww.
Heterozygous (Ww) x Homozygous dominant (WW):
The possible offspring genotypes are:
WW (homozygous dominant) from W (father) and W (mother)
Ww (heterozygous) from W (father) and w (mother)
Since neither combination results in a homozygous recessive (ww) offspring, the probability of having a homozygous recessive offspring is 0%.
