A common trait found in orange tabby cats is the following: being awesome (A) is dominant to being average (a).
A male cat that is homozygous dominant for the A trait is mated with a female cat that is homozygous recessive.
For a cross with four offspring, what is the probability that they will have an offspring who is heterozygous?
out of
The genotype of the male cat is AA (homozygous dominant) and the genotype of the female cat is aa (homozygous recessive).
When these two cats mate, their possible offspring genotypes are:
AA (homozygous dominant)
Aa (heterozygous)
Aa (heterozygous)
aa (homozygous recessive)
Out of the four possible genotypes, two of them are heterozygous (Aa).
Therefore, the probability that they will have an offspring who is heterozygous is 2/4 or 0.5, which is equivalent to 50%.
