According to the given information, the mother has the genotype Aa and the father also has the genotype Aa. This means that both parents have one dominant allele (A) for a double comb and one recessive allele (a) for a single comb.

To determine the percent chance that the offspring will have a single comb, we need to analyze the possible combinations of alleles that the offspring can inherit.

The possible combinations of alleles that the offspring can inherit are:

1) AA - double comb
2) Aa - double comb
3) aA - double comb
4) aa - single comb

Out of these four possible combinations, only one combination (aa) results in a single comb.

Therefore, there is a 1 out of 4 chance (1/4) or 25% chance that the offspring will have a single comb.
