Answer 1

Answer #1

Answer:

50%

Explanation: Let, recessive allele is w and dominant allele is W.

The parental genotype

Ww(normal coloured tiger heterozygous) * ww(white tiger)

Their offsprings would be

Parent1/parent 2	W	w
w	Ww (normal coloured tiger heterozygous)	ww (white tiger)
w	Ww (normal coloured tiger heterozygous)	ww (white tiger)

2 offsprings out of 4 possible offsprings will be having normal body colour.

Hence, (2/4)*100= 50% of the offsprings are expected to be non white.
