Answer:

<h2> (1/4 * 60) </h2><h2>The probability. that child will have extra fingers and toes are = 0.15 </h2>

Explanation:

As given; extra fingers and toes are caused by a recessive trait.

Penetrance= 60%.

Parents are heterozygous, assume  Ff and Ff

F is dominant over f, and ff are homozygous recessive.

Ff crossed with Ff

Progeny are; FF, Ff, Ff and ff.

ff are homozygous recessive, as given that extra fingers and toes are caused by a recessive trait, so 1/4 will show the trait.

But according to 60% penetrance the trait will occur in = (1/4 * 60) =15% or 0.15 progeny will show the trait .

The probability, that child will have extra fingers and toes are = 0.15

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Bb ll for the black short-legged horse

bb Ll for the brown long-legged horse

bb ll for the offspring

Explanation:

In order for the offspring to have the two recessive traits, the parents must have been carrying the recessive genes on at least 1 allele. The first horse is black, but it must have a little b for the offspring to gain a little b from it. The second horse and the offspring are brown, so they must both have two little b's. The same goes for the length of the legs. The first horse and offspring must have two little l's because they have short legs and the second horse must have 1 little l in order for the offspring to inherit 1.
