(the image shows a punnett square with four cells: top-left gg, top-right gg, bottom-left gg, bottom-right gg. click to choose your answer below:)

Explanation:

Step1: Count total offspring

The Punnett square has 4 cells, so total offspring = 4.

Step2: Identify homozygous recessive

Homozygous recessive is "gg". From the square, only 1 cell has "gg".

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage = (Number of gg / Total offspring) × 100 = (1/4) × 100 = 25%.

Answer:

D. 25%
