Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A) 1 out of 16

B) 3 out of 16

C) 6 out of 16

D) 9 out of 16

The answer is 1 out of 16

Explanation:

This is a DIHYBRID cross because it involves two different genes coding for distinct traits. One of the traits will be dominant while the other recessive. Hence, parents that are purebred for opposite forms of the trait means that one parent is homozygous dominant while the other is homozygous recessive. When these two parents cross, they produce F1 offsprings that all possess the dominant trait but heterozygous/hybrids.

When these hybrids are self-crossed, they produce four different combinations of gametes which when crossed using a punnet square will result in F2 offsprings with a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio according to Mendel's observation.

9 represents offsprings that are dominant for both traits

The two 3's represents offsprings that are recessive for one trait and dominant for the other respectively.

1 represents offsprings that are homozygous recessive for both traits.

Hence, 1 out of 16 offsprings will be homozygous recessive for both traits.

Cross a person who does not have freckles and is heterozygous for dimples with a person who has
Alja [10]

Answer:

1. 1/2

2. 1/2

3. 1/4

Explanation:

Let the allele for freckles be A or a while that of dimples be B or b.

A person without freckles but heterozygous for dimples = aaBb

A person who has freckles (whose mother has no freckles) but no dimples = Aabb

      aaBb    x    Aabb

Offspring

4 AaBb - freckled and dimpled

4 Aabb - freckled and non dimpled

4 aaBb - non freckled and dimpled

4 aabb - non freckled and non dimpled

1. <em>Probability that the parents will have a dimpled child</em> = 8/16 or 1/2

2. <em>Probability that they will have a child with freckles</em> = 8/16 or 1/2

3. <em>Probability that they will have a child with freckles and dimples</em> = 4/16 or 1/4

<u>See the attached image for the Punnet's square analysis of the cross</u>
