Answer and Explanation:

<u>Cross:</u> aa Bb dd Ee x AA bb Dd Ee

We can calculate the probability of getting heterozygous individuals in the progeny by using the <u>product rule</u>. Assuming that these four genes <u>assort independently</u> (<em>events that occur independently from each other</em>), we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

1) aa     x     AA

F1) 4/4=1 Aa

2) Bb    x    bb

F1) ½ bb

     ½ Bb

3) dd    x    Dd

F1) ½ dd

     ½ Dd

4) Ee    x    Ee

F1) ¼ EE

    2/4 = ½ Ee

     ¼ ee

So, to know what the probability is that the F1 of being heterozygous for all loci, we must multiply the respective individual probabilities of getting a heterozygous genotype, like this:  

1 Aa   x   ½ Bb   x    ½ Dd    x    ½ Ee = 1/8 AaBbDdEe

Answer:

They either get their source of nutrients from something else. Or, they could also have shorter roots so that they only reach the top of the soil. They probably won't need as much nutrients to survive either.
