Please read the scenario below and answer the question (in bold) that follows: In humans, the ability to roll one's tongue is a dominant trait (T). A woman who can roll her tongue is married to a man who cannot roll his tongue. The couple's daughter, Nia, can roll her tongue though their son, Michael, cannot. If Nia were to (one day) marry a man who was heterozygous for the tongue-rolling trait, what percentage of their children would be able to roll their tongues? a. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% e. 100% M
