Question

for each offspring genotype in the punnett square you just completed, determine the phenotype. in other words, what is the predicted fur color and eye color of the offspring? using your punnett square from the last step, fill in the predicted fraction for each phenotype in the data table below. finally, convert the predicted fractions into predicted percentages.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert fraction to percentage

To convert a fraction to a percentage, use the formula \( \text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}}\times100\%\)
For \( \frac{9}{16}\):
\( \frac{9}{16}\times100\% = 56.25\%\)

Step2: Convert fraction to percentage

For \( \frac{3}{16}\):
\( \frac{3}{16}\times100\%= 18.75\%\)

Step3: Convert fraction to percentage

For \( \frac{3}{16}\):
\( \frac{3}{16}\times100\% = 18.75\%\)

Step4: Convert fraction to percentage

For \( \frac{1}{16}\):
\( \frac{1}{16}\times100\%=6.25\%\)

Answer:

Black Fur and Black Eyes: \(56.25\%\)
Black Fur and Red Eyes: \(18.75\%\)
White Fur and Black Eyes: \(18.75\%\)
White Fur and Red Eyes: \(6.25\%\)
