Mutation. this happens when a cell copies its DNA to divide. its more common than you may think, a "typo" occurs every 100, 000 or so nucleotides, thats about 120, 000 "typos" every time a cell divides.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a) 1/16

b) 1/64

c) 1/32

Explanation:

According to the law of independent assortment, each allele of a particular gene has equal chances of getting inherited into the gametes.

In a Mendelian cross of Aa x Aa would give;

AA = 1/4,

Aa = 2/4 and

aa = 1/4

The result of the cross between AaBb x AaBb would be 1/16 due to the fact that probability is still the same AA = 1/4, BB = 1/4 therefore, AABB = 1/16 = 1/4× 1/4.

Now based on this crossing the following:

AaBbCCDd x AabbCcDd.

Take each allele as individual

Aa x Aa would give; AA = 1/4, Aa = 2/4 and aa = 1/4

Bb x bb would give; BB = 1/2, bb = 1/2

CC x Cc would give; CC = 1/2, Cc = 1/2

Dd x Dd would give; DD = 1/4, Dd = 2/4 and dd = 1/4

Then the probability of progeny of the following would be:

a) the probability of AaBbCcDd = 2/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 2/4 = 1/16

b) the probability of aabbCCdd = 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/64

c) the probability of AabbCcDD = 2/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/32
