With a basic understanding of genetic principles, it is possible to predict what the offspring between two parents might look like.

a. True

b. False

True

Explanation:

It is true that with a basic understanding of genetic principles we can predict what the offspring between two parents might look like, but it is not true that this prediction will be true.

With the basic knowledge of genetics, we have the knowledge of recessive dominant alleles and how this is passed on to descendants. If we know which characteristics of the father and mother can be considered to come from dominant and recessive alleles, we can have a prediction of parent descent.
