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

Which event started the Pequot war?
Tanya [424]
<span>The division of the fur trade was mostly the spark of the Pequot war. The Pequot war is a conflict between the Pequot tribe and the alliances that the European colonists have made in Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their native tribe alliance with the Mohegan tribes. <span>

<span>It was a dispute that the Pequots lost; where about an approximate of 700 of these tribesmen were either killed or sent to slavery. Access to the control of fur trade divided the two tribes when they both decided to realign with English trade sources. The Pequots made an alliance with the Dutch, while the Mohegan made an alliance with the English. </span></span></span>
