Most humans (and vertebrates, in general) are genetically "programmed" to produce a brown skin pigment known as melanin. Albinis

m--the inability to produce melanin—is inherited in humans as an autosomal recessive trait. An individual with genotype AA or Aa will have normally pigmented skin, whereas an individual with genotype aa will produce no melanin. The albino's skin is very pale white, and the (highly vascularized) irises of the eyes appear red because no melanin obscures the red reflectance of blood.

Most humans (and vertebrates, in general) are genetically "programmed" to produce a brown skin pigment known as melanin. Albinism--the inability to produce melanin—is inherited in humans as an autosomal recessive trait. An individual with genotype AA or Aa will have normally pigmented skin, whereas an individual with genotype aa will produce no melanin. The albino's skin is very pale white, and the (highly vascularized) irises of the eyes appear red because no melanin obscures the red reflectance of blood.

The frequencies aa (Parental genotype male) and Aa (Parental genotype female, predict the frequencies of all genotypes and phenotypes expected  to result from the cross of an albino male with a heterozygous female.

What is the probability that a hybrid individual with the genotype AabbCcddEeFf will produce a gamete that has the genotype abCd
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

6.25%

Explanation:

Find the number of different gametes that can be produced

number of gametes produced = 2^n

n is the number of allele pairs that are heterozygous

there are 4 heterozygous allele pairs, these are: Aa, Cc, Ee and Ff

2^4 = 16

abCdeF is one of the 16 genotypes that could be produced

to find the percentage, divide 1 and 16 and multiply by 100

1 ÷ 16 = 0.0625

0.0625 × 100 = 6.25

why do you think it’s important to also consider DNA and gene patterns during the classification of organisms?
rewona [7]
The evolution of molecular biology has made possible to establish a new classification of all organisms according to their DNA, and it's called phylogenetic classification.This classification groups living beings according to their kinship, established according to anatomical, physiological and behavioral criteria and especially genetic, based on the similarity of genes between species.
This made it possible to discover kinship ties between species of which there is no suspicion of any morphological link between them, something which the old classification (the traditional classification) was incapable of doing (and this proves the importance of the DNA and genes in organisms classification.
