An aquatic arthropod called a Cyclops has antennae that are either barbed (B) or smooth (b). In the same organism, non-resistance to pesticides (P) is dominant over resistance to pesticides (p). If a Cyclops that has smooth antennae and is resistant to pesticides is crossed with one that is heterozygous for both traits… Imagine, for a moment, that two organisms in the F1 generation are crossed. What is the probability that the offspring that are produced (i.e., the F2 generation) will have smooth antennae and be resistant to pesticides? a. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% e. It is impossible to tell given the information provided 2. What is the probability that offspring in the F1 generation will be Bb or bb and be resistant to pesticides? a. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% e. 100%
Please read the scenario below and answer the question (in bold) that follows:
