The allele for a widow’s peak has complete dominance over the allele for a straight hairline (w). what is the probability of two parents heterogeneous for a widow’s peak (ww) having an offspring without a widow’s peak?

25 percent
0 percent
50 percent
75 percent

25 percent

Explanation:

Alleles:                     W     x     w

                 Widows peak   x     straight hairline

Parents are heterogenous...

∴ their genotypes:                   Ww         x         Ww

         phenotypes:       Widow's peak    x          Widow's peak  

From the punnet square of the parent cross:

F1, offspring:                             TT; Tt; Tt; tt

  genotypes:                           1 TT: 2 Tt: 1 tt

∴  the genotypic ratio:               1: 2: 1

phenotypes:            Widow's peak; Widow's peak; Widow's peak; Straight

There is one offspring without a widow's peak= = 25%  

Option A

Explanation:

It is given that widow’s peak trait's allele is completely dominant over straight hairline trait's allele.

This means that in any heterozygous gamete , the characteristics associated with the widow’s peak trait will be expressed thereby subsiding the straight hairline trait

Gamete of the heterogeneous parents (Ww) is W, w

Cross between the two heterogeneous parents will produce following offspring

Ww * Ww

WW, Ww, Ww, ww

Thus out of four offspring, three offspring (WW, Ww, Ww) will have widow’s peak while only one offspring (ww) will have straight hairline

Hence, the probability of an offspring without a widow’s peak is

%

Hence, option A is correct

the "dirty dozen" chemicals banned in an international treaty are formally known as persistent organic pollutants, or pops. the united nations environment program provided this background on what they are and what they can do to humans and wildlife.

i hope this

the correct answer is:

a population changes in response to a change in the environment.
