Answer» Answer: The probability of getting ONE or more copies of the dominant A ALLELE is 3 / 4 3/4 3/4 .The chance of having a child with two copies of the recessive gene, thus being HOMOZYGOUS recessive, is 25%. Explanation: The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the GENOTYPES of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. ... The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype. |
