A pair of butterflies reproduces and has one thousand offspring. All one thousand of the offspring have the alleles Aa. What is the most likely combination of alleles (genotype) for each parent? Explain your answer.

It is expected that each parent is homo-zygous for each trait (i.e., one parent has genotype AA and the other parent has genotype aa)

Explanation:

An F1 hybrid is the first filial generation of the progeny of distinctly different parental types. In this case, it is expected that each parent is homo-zygous for each trait, thereby 100% of all offspring will have genotype Aa (i.e., parental cross: AA x aa >> F1 = 100% Aa). On the other hand, in a cross where one parent is heterozygous for the trait (Aa) and the other parent is homo-zygous (either AA or aa), only 50% of all offspring will have genotype Aa.

they are c. hope this !
