Answer:

75%

Explanation:

Heterozygous means that there is two different alleles, one being dominant, while the other is a recessive trait (Ww).

As stated in the question, it is noted that the dominant allele is denoted as a capital W, while a recessive allele is denoted as a lowercase w.

Two heterozygous unicorns are crossed. Create a Punnett Square. The probability for the offspring would be found within the Punnett Square.

Remember, having the dominant trait (W) would result in the offspring obtaining a white horn. In this case, 3 of the 4 offspring has at least one dominant allele (W), or a 75% probability.

75% is the probability that the offspring will have a white horn.
