These two cats have a child together. The white fur trait is recessive. The black cat has a heterozygous genotype. What are the chances their child will have black fur? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion. What steps did you follow?

ww = white fur recessive

Bw = heterozygous black cat

Bw x ww = Bw, Bw, ww and ww 2:2

the chances that the offspring will have black fur is 50% which is heterozygous dominant
