Question

In horses, the allele for long legs (L) is dominant over the allele for short legs (1). What is the

probability of short legs in the offspring of parents that are both heterozygous for the trait?

Answer 1

`(1)/(4)` or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Heterozygous means that the organism has different alleles (L1)

Draw a punnet square:

L 1

L LL L1

1 L1 11

11 is the allele for short legs so 1 in 4 of the outcomes will lead to an offspring with short legs
