Answer 1

• The percentage of the sheep which will have white wool is 75 percent.

• The percentage of the sheep which will have black wool is 25 percent.

What is an Allele?

This is defined as a variant form of a gene. We were told that allele for  white wool is dominant to the allele for black wool and two heterozygous sheep mated.

When we cross Ww and Ww we get WW, Ww, Ww, ww. Since white is dominant then the percentage is 3/4 = 75 percent.
