Chapter 8.2, Problem 23E

Genetics With respect to a certain gene, geneticists classify individuals as dominant, recessive, or hybrid. In an experiment, individuals are crossed with hybrids, then their offspring are crossed with hybrids, and so on. For dominant individuals, 50% of their offspring will be dominant and 50% will be a hybrid. For the recessive individuals, 50% of their offspring will be recessive and 50% hybrid. Hybrid individuals’ offspring will be 25% dominant, 25% recessive, and 50% hybrid. In the long run, what percent of the individuals in a generation will be dominant?
