A student is completing a Punnett square for a trait (T/t) that is autosomal and inherited by the dominant allele. The father does not have the trait (tt) but the mother does (Tt). If they had two children, a son and a daughter, what would the completed Punnett square look like (i.e., would the son have the trait, would the daughter have the trait?)(1 point)

Responses

Each child would have a 100% chance of inheriting the trait.
Each child would have a 100% chance of inheriting the trait.

Each child would have a 0% chance of inheriting the trait.
Each child would have a 0% chance of inheriting the trait.

The son would inherit the trait and the daughter would not.
The son would inherit the trait and the daughter would not.

Each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the trait.

Answer 1

The completed Punnett square would show that each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the trait. The possible genotypes for the son are Tt (with the trait) and tt (without the trait), and for the daughter are Tt (with the trait) and tt (without the trait).
