Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here we have a question telling us A man has parlayed actively which is a dominant trait. His wife and their daughter have the normal number of digits. What fraction of this couple's Children would have a normal number of digits? So we know that the man is hetero zegas for polly dactyl E. Or his daughter would have extra digits as well. So we're going to call that capital a lowercase A. And then the wife has the normal number of digits which is recessive. So we know that she's homos I guess recessive. So when we do our punnett square we get capital a lowercase a lowercase a lowercase a capital A lowercase a lowercase a lowercase A. So our homo saugus recessive have the normal number of digits which is half of our offspring. So our answer here is be 50%. Thank you for watching. Bye.
