    For this you would use a punnet square (ill try my best to show it while typing)

    heterozygous means different, so you have parents with alleles shown as Dr (D=dominate, r = recessive) since they cant have 2 dominate alleles.

    D r

    D Dr Dr

    r Dr rr

    to get the recessive trait you must have an allele shown recessive homozygous

    since there are only 1 pair shown as rr out of 4 possibilities you'd have 1/4 which is 25%

    25%
