In an underground bioluminescent grove, cavern beetles possess either iridescent shells governed by a dominant allele (B) or matte black shells governed by a recessive allele (b). A researcher mates two iridescent beetles that are both confirmed to be heterozygous (Bb). Using a Punnett square for this cross, what fraction of the total offspring is predicted to display iridescent shells while also carrying the recessive allele?
