a man who has dimple s & heterozygous for this trait marries a women who is without dimples ,what is the chance of their first child to have dimples?
Dear Student,
Let us consider that the Heterozygous Man has Gamete for dimples as ' Dd '
and , The woman is Homozygous with gamete ' dd '
The mating between these two individuals will produce FOUR offsprings with the following gametes -
Therefore , The probability of Having Dimples of their First Child is - 2 out of 4 (Dd and Dd)
That is 50%
Regards.
