4.Principles of Inheritance and Variation
medium
What percentage of homozygous $R h^{-i i}$ will be born amongst four children of a couple where the husband is heterozygous for $R h^{+i i}$ and wife is homozygous for $R h^{-i i}$ gene?
A
$25\, \%$
B
$50\, \%$
C
$75\, \%$
D
$100\, \%$
Solution
The husband is heterozygous for $R h^{+i i}$ so, it will $(Rh\, rh)$ and wife is homozygous of $R h^{-i i}$ so, it will have genetic alleles $(rh\, rh):$
So, $50 \%$ homozygous $R h^{-i i}$ children will be born.
