Answer: For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between parents heterozygous for all three traits to be recessive at exactly two of the three loci is 23/64.

Explanation: Let A, B and C represent the dominant alleles and a, b and c represent the recessive alleles. The genotype of each of the parent will be AaBbCc since it has been said to be heterozygous for all the three traits. There are eight (8) possible different types of gametes from each of the genotype. This can be calculated using 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci.

The number of heterozygous loci in the genotype AaBbCc is three (3). 2^3 = 8. The gametes are;

ABC

ABc

AbC

Abc

aBC

aBc

abC and

abc.

Therefore, sixty-four possible offsprings are expected from the cross AaBbCc x AaBbCc.

Out of these offsprings, twenty-three (23) are expected to be heterozygous at two loci as boldly shown in the attached image.

To increase the absorption of nonheme iron in beans, you can eat a food with _____ alongside the beans
choli [55]

To increase the absorption of nonheme iron in beans, you can eat a portion of food with vitamin C alongside the beans.

<h3>What are vitamins?</h3>

Vitamins are certain micronutrients that may help to absorb other nutrients (e.g., minerals) in the body.

Vitamins are micronutrients that can be classified as fat-soluble vitamins and water (hydrophilic) soluble vitamins.

Vitamin C is required for the formation of blood vessels, muscle and cartilages in the body.
