Monohybrid inheritance — Answer key

1. Cross aa × Aa. A is completely dominant over a; assume equal gamete probabilities and random fertilisation. What percentage of offspring is expected to show the recessive phenotype?
50%
Four equally likely allele pairings: Aa, aa, Aa, aa. Only aa shows the recessive phenotype: 2/4 × 100 = 50%. This is a probability, not a guaranteed count.
2. Cross AA × AA. A is completely dominant over a; assume equal gamete probabilities and random fertilisation. What percentage of offspring is expected to show the recessive phenotype?
0%
Four equally likely allele pairings: AA, AA, AA, AA. Only aa shows the recessive phenotype: 0/4 × 100 = 0%. This is a probability, not a guaranteed count.
3. Cross aa × aa. A is completely dominant over a; assume equal gamete probabilities and random fertilisation. What percentage of offspring is expected to show the recessive phenotype?
100%
Four equally likely allele pairings: aa, aa, aa, aa. Only aa shows the recessive phenotype: 4/4 × 100 = 100%. This is a probability, not a guaranteed count.
