Answer:

50% of the progeny are white animals, with pp genotype.

Explanation:

Available data:

  • The recessive allele, p, causes a white color
  • The dominant allele, P, causes pigmentation.
  • Cross: One phenotypically normal tiger that is heterozygous is mated to another that is phenotypically white.  

What percentage of their offspring is expected to be white?

Parental)   Pp     x     pp

Gametes) P   p       p   p

Punnet square)     P          p

                     p     Pp        pp

                     p     Pp        pp

F1) 50% of the progeny are pigmented animals, with Pp genotype.

     50% of the progeny are white animals, with pp genotype.
