each section of the punnett square represents 25% of the offspring.
what percentage of the offspring will be short?
100%
25%
75%
50%

Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of short offspring

In the Punnett square, the genotype for short is \( tt \). There are 2 \( tt \) genotypes.

Step2: Calculate the percentage

Since each section is \( 25\%\) (or \(\frac{1}{4}\)) of the offspring, and there are 2 out of 4 sections with \( tt \). The percentage is \( 2\times25\% = 50\%\)

Answer:

50%
