Question

What is the probability that each of the following pairs of parents will produce the indicated offspring? (Assume independent assortment of all gene pairs.)
a. AABBCC×aabbcc→AaBbCc
b. AABbCc×AaBbCc→AAbbCC
c. AaBbCc×AaBbCc→AaBbCc
d. aaBbCC×AABbcc→AaBbCc

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here we have a question asking us to assume that independent assortment happens in all gene pairs. And the question is what will be the probability of capital A capital A capital B. Lower case speed? Capital C. Lower case C. And capital A lowercase A. Capital B. Capital B. Capital C capital C. Parental genotype producing offspring with capital A lowercase A capital B. Lowercase B. Capital C. Lower case C. Genotype. So we're going to make a public square for each of these. So we have capital A. Capital A capital A lowercase A. Gives us capital a capital A capital A capital A capital A lowercase A capital A lowercase A. And then with B. We have capital B. Lower case B. Capital B. Capital B. So we have capital B. Capital B. Capital B. Lowercase B. Capital B. Capital B. Capital B. Lowercase B. And lastly we have capital C. Lower K. C. Capital C. Capital C. So we'll get capital C. Capital C. Capital C. Lower case C. Capital C. Capital C capital C. Lower case C. So we want capital A lowercase A. Which is one half of our first opponent square. We want capital B. Lowercase B. Which is one half of our second punnett square. We want capital C. Lower case C. Which is one half of our third square. So now we need to multiply all three probabilities. So one half times one half times one half equals 1/8. So that is our answer. So our answer is c. Thank you for watching. Bye
