sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer would be X-linked dominant.

X-linked dominant inheritance is a type of inheritance in which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.

In this type of inheritance, if a father is diseased and mother is unaffected, then all the daughters would carry the disease as daughters get an X chromosome from their father.

No son would be diseased as they only get a Y chromosome instead of the X chromosome from father.

When the mother is affected (heterozygous, that is, only one X chromosome carries dominant allele) and father is unaffected, then half of the sons and half of the daughters would carry the disease as mother passes X chromosome to both the son and daughter.

What's the phenotype percentages
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

I'd say the phenotype percentages are the same with the genotypes.

Explanation:

There's no reason I can see for it not to be. The offsprings are going to be half red/white and half white. Phenotype is basically what you can actually see, it comes from the greek word phenomaí which means "i look like" (from a brief translation).
