What would be the probability of obtaining 6 offspring, 4 of which were dominant and 2 recessive if it was a test cross (Aa x aa

) instead of a cross between two heterozygotes? Give your answer to 4 decimal places.

Answer:0.0156

Explanation:

If the test cross is between one heterozygous (Aa) and one homologous recessive gene (aa). The possible genotype for their offspring will be

Aa aa Aa aa

The probability of dominant gene (Aa) is 2/4

The probability of recessive gene (aa) is 2/4

The probability that in six offspring 4 is dominant and two recessive is

= 2/4*2/4*2/4*2/4*2/4*2/4

=64/4096

=0.015625

=0.0156 to 4 decimal places

If black and white true-breeding mice are mated and the result is all gray offspring, what inheritance pattern would this be ind
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Option B, Co-dominance

Explanation:

This is an example of codominance inheritance pattern.

When two alleles representing two different characteristic traits are expressed equally in the offsprings resulting from a cross, then this genetic inheritance pattern is called as codominance .

For example -

A red flower with genotype "RR" is crossed with a white flower "rr" resulting into pink color offsrping with genotype "Rr"

Here, both the red and white traits of flower color are expressed equally thereby giving pink color to the offspring flower.

The same thing is happening in case of true breeding black and white mice.

Hence, option B is correct

Determine the results from a cross of a mother who is heterozygous for tongue rolling with a father who is homozygous recessive
grandymaker [24]
In order to determine the results from a father who is homozygous recessive for the tongue rolling trait, T, and a mother who is heterozygous for the trait, a Punett square can be used to determine both the resulting genotype (allele combination) and phenotype (observable characteristics). The results are 50% Tt and 50% tt. Thus, the cross would result to 1:1 ratio of tongue rolling to non-tongue rolling offsprings.
