Mexican hairless dogs are hairless because of a dominant allele of a particular gene. Homozygous dominant dogs die in utero (bef
ore being born). What is the probability of two hairless dogs having a live hairless puppy?
1 answer:
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
Both parent's genotype is Bb because they are hairless and alive.
If it has a homozygous dominant genotype (BB), the dog will die in utero.
If it has a heterozygous genotype (Bb), the dog will be hairless but won't die.
If it has a homozygous dominant genotype (bb), the dog will have hair.
The ratio of BB:Bb:bb is 1:2:1 meaning that there is a 50% probability of having a live hairless puppy.
Hope this helps! <3
