What is the smallest number of copies of the dominant allele for polydactyly that could be found in a body cell of this person?

Answer:

1 I think, read the explanation.

Explanation:

Offspring need to carry just one dominant allele from their parents to inherit the polydactyl condition. The probability of the offspring having polydactyly is 50% (2 of the 4) and 50% not having it (normal). This can be expressed as a ratio, 2:2 which can be simplified to 1:1. - found on the internet
