    Answer:100% offspring has extra finger

    Let say that the dominant gene for extra finger is F and the recessive gene if f. That means the parent genetic would be:

    Mother: homozygous dominant = FF

    Possible allele: 100% F

    Father: homozygous recessive = ff

    Possible allele: 100% f

    Since the father has 100% chance to give f allele and the mother has 100% of giving F allele, then the offspring would be:

    100% Ff (heterozygous). Since the extra finger condition is dominant, a heterozygous individual will express the extra finger condition.
