This isn't always the case and there is no reason it should be .Whether or not a trait is common has to do with how many copies of that gene version (or allele) are in the population. It has little or nothing to do with whether the trait is dominant or recessive. Let's take eye color as an example.

Question

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

There is a 25% chance of an offspring having blue eyes.

Explanation:

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which is made to check the outcomes of a cross.

In the scenario discussed in the question, only one trait is being studied. Such a cross is termed as a monohybrid cross.

As both the parents are heterozygous for the trait, hence the punnet square can be made as follows:

B b

B BB Bb

b Bb bb

The results of this punnet square show that:

there is 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous for brown eyes.
there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous for brown color.
there is a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous and have blue eyes.
