The answer would be cretinism

Iodine is an element that vital for making thyroid hormone. Deficiency of iodine can cause hypothyroidism which can lead to growth retar..dation of the child inside the mother. This will cause the child develop a disease called cretinism. A child with cretinism will have a disturbance in growth and development.

The following F2 results occur from a dihybrid cross (AaBb x AaBb): purple: A_B_ 9/16 white: aaB_ 3/16 white: A_bb 3/16 white: a
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

b. 3 (whilte) : 1(purple)

Explanation:

The first dihybrid crossing is between AaBb x AaBb

Now, if the double heterozygous traits self crossed, we have the following gametes shown below for the F₂ crossing.

AaBb = (AB, Ab, aB, ab)

                    AB                     Ab                     aB                     ab

AB                AABB                AABb                AaBB                AaBb

Ab                AABb                AAbb                AaBb                Aabb

aB                AaBB                 AaBb                aaBB                aaBb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb                 aaBb                aabb

We were being told that the results are;

purple: A_B_ 9/16

white: aaB_ 3/16

white: A_bb 3/16

white: aabb 1/16

From above, we can see that the same is true;

For Purple color; we Have (AABB and AaBb) since A is dominant to a and B is dominant to b.

∴ From the above punnet square; we have 9 purple colors which are:

(AABB, AABb, AaBB, AaBb, AABb, AaBb, AaBB, AaBb, AaBb) = 9/16

white: aaB_ ( since B is dominant to b, it can be either BB or Bb)

= (aaBB, aaBb, aaBb) = 3/16

white: A_bb ( since A is dominant to a, it can be either AA or Aa)

= (AAbb, Aabb, Aabb) = 3/16

white: aabb i.e homozygous recessive = (aabb) = 1/16

Furthermore, the question goes further by saying:

If a double heterozygote (AaBb) is crossed with a fully recessive organism (aabb), what phenotypic ratio is expected in the offspring?

If AaBb self crossed, we have:  (AB, Ab, aB, ab)

If aabb self crossed, we have: (ab, ab, ab, ab)

                    AB                     Ab                     aB                     ab

ab                AaBb                Aabb                aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                Aabb                aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb               aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb                aaBb                aabb

AaBb ( purple)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

Aabb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

aaBb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

aabb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

Now the proportion of white to purple =  (25%+25%+25%): 25%

=  75%:25%

= 3(white):1(purple)

We can therefore conclude that the expected phenotypic ratio in the cross between a double heterozygote (AaBb) with a fully recessive organism (aabb) yeids;

3 (whilte) : 1(purple)
