What is the probability that both parents will contribute a recessive allele for any given trait? Use the product rule to determ
ine the probability of inheriting the recessive genotype (aa).
1 answer:
Answer:
The probability of inheriting the recessive trait from both parents is 25%
Explanation:
According to the product rule when two alleles independently assort the probability of them occurring together is calculated by each of the probability.
In this case:
Since each allele is a 1/2 chance of 50% probability to be in inherited from either parent is 1/2*1/2=1/4 or 25%
