Answer:
the answer is B
Explanation:
Analyze the result of a cross between two organisms that are both heterozygous for two different genes (AaBb) use a Punnett squa
re to evaluate the possible genotypes (1) list all the genotypes from your Punnett square in the answer space (2) determine how many phenotypes can be produced in offspring (3) determine probability of producing offspring with the aabb genotype
1 answer:
(1) All the genotypes are as follows: AABB, AaBB, AABb, AaBb, aaBB, aaBb, AAbb, Aabb, aabb.
(2) Assuming that Aa is dominant and Bb is recessive, there will be 9 phenotypes with both A and B allele dominant (i.e. AaBb, AABb); there will be 3 phenotypes with just the A allele dominant (i.e. Aabb, AAbb); there will be 3 phenotypes with just the B allele dominant (i.e. aaBb, aaBB); and there will be 1 phenotype with both alleles recessive (i.e. aabb). The phenotypic ratio in this case is 9:3:3:1.
(3) The probability of producing an offspring with the aabb genotype is 1/16 or 6%.
