Question

For this question, assume that the species is diploid and that the gene in question is NOT on a sex chromosome. In a hypothetical species of fox, suppose there is a gene that can cause a fox to have a stripe of gray fur down its side. This gene has two alleles, denoted "s" and "s+". Foxes with one or two "s+" alleles have the stripe, and the stripe looks the same whether an individual's genotype is "s+ s+" or "s+ s"; foxes with only "s" alleles have no stripe. If a male fox with genotype "s+ s" and a female with no stripe have offspring, what percentage of the offspring are predicted to have a stripe?
