In a simple dominant-recessive inheritance pattern, if one parent is heterozygous (Bb) and the other is homozygous recessive (bb), then they will pass on a dominant allele (B) or a recessive allele (b) to their offspring with equal probability. Therefore, 50% of the offspring will receive the dominant allele and exhibit the dominant trait, and 50% will receive the recessive allele and exhibit the recessive trait.
