Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the case of genes that are independently assorting, the expected percentage of recombinant phenotypes in the offspring from a testcross is 50%. This is because independent assortment leads to a 1:1:1:1 ratio of the possible gamete combinations, resulting in half of the offspring displaying recombinant phenotypes.
