Question

1. in dragons, four wings (w) are dominant to two wings (w). a mom dragon has a heterozygous pair of alleles and a dad dragon has a homozygous recessive pair. complete the punnett square.

a. what percentage of the offspring will have 4 wings?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the genotypes

Mom dragon: \( Ww \) (heterozygous), Dad dragon: \( ww \) (homozygous recessive).

Step2: Set up Punnett square

Mom's gametes: \( W \) and \( w \). Dad's gametes: \( w \) and \( w \).

	\( w \)	\( w \)
\( w \)	\( ww \)	\( ww \)

Step3: Analyze genotypes

Genotypes: \( Ww \) (four - winged) and \( ww \) (two - winged).
Number of \( Ww \) offspring: 2. Total offspring: 4.

Step4: Calculate percentage

Percentage \(=\frac{2}{4}\times100\% = 50\%\)

Answer:

50%
