Use the following information to answer then next question. Two different genes control the expression of kernel colour in Mexican black corn: black pigment gene B and dotted pigment gene D. Gene B influences the expression of gene D. The dotted phenotype appears only when gene B is in the homozygous recessive state. A colourless variation occurs when both genes are homozygous recessive. After pure-breeding black-pigmented plants were crossed with colourless plants, all of the offspring were black-pigmented. What is the probability of dotted offspring being produced from the test cross described above? (Record your answer as a whole number percentage). Answer:
