Question

q4 what is true about bb the offspring is not passing his mothers trait because it is a recessive allele. the offspring is taking his fathers recessive allele and will pass it. the offspring masks his mothers trait but will pass it to the next generation. this is an example of homozygous alleles that will not affect inheritance. all of the above

Explanation:

In genetics, Bb represents heterozygous alleles. The dominant allele (B) masks the recessive allele (b) in the phenotype of the individual with Bb genotype. However, the recessive - allele can be passed on to the next generation during reproduction. The statement about homozygous alleles in the selected answer is incorrect as Bb is heterozygous. For the correct option among the others: The offspring with Bb has a dominant allele (B) that masks the recessive allele (b) from the mother (assuming b from mother in this case), but the recessive allele (b) can be passed on to the next generation.

Answer:

The offspring masks his mother's trait but will pass it to the next generation.
