Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu.
if a heterozygous male with the genotype ww is mated with a homozygous recessive female of genotype ww, there is a chance that
of the offspring will be heterozygous.
if the heterozygous, ww, is crossed with a homozygous dominant, ww, then the probability of having a homozygous recessive offspring is

Explanation:

Step1: Determine gametes

The heterozygous male (Ww) can produce gametes W and w. The homozygous recessive female (ww) can only produce gamete w.

Step2: Create Punnett square

$$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{W} & \text{w} \\ \hline \text{w} & \text{Ww} \\ \hline \text{w} & \text{ww} \\ \hline \end{array}$$

Step3: Calculate probability

There are 2 possible offspring genotypes: Ww and ww. The probability of homozygous recessive (ww) is $\frac{1}{2}=50\%$.

Answer:

50%
