Answer:
The correct answer is 35 percent.
Explanation:
Allele D produced tiny ears, and allele d produces normal ones. If a heterozygous male with Dd mates with the homozygous female with dd, then generally, the expected offspring produced will be 50 percent with tiny ears, and 50 percent with normal ears.
However, in the given case, the penetrance is 70 percent. Thus, the probability of the offspring with tiny ears will be:
Penetrance = 70 %
Probability = 70 % of 50 % of 100
= 70/100 * 50/100 * 100
= 35 %
Hence, the probability of the offspring with tiny ears is 35%.
