A student is completing a Punnett square for a trait that is autosomal and inherited by the dominant allele. The father does not have the trait (xx) but the mother does (Xx). If they had two children, a son and a daughter, what would the completed Punnett square tell you about if the children will have inherited the trait?(1 point)

Answer 1

The completed Punnett square for this scenario would indicate that the son would not have inherited the trait because he would have received the father's x allele. However, the daughter would have a 50% chance of inheriting the trait, as she could receive either the mother's X allele (trait) or the father's x allele (no trait).
