Answer:

b. aaBb x AAbb

Explanation:

According to the information in this question, the trait for magic ability is controlled by two genes, each comprising of two alleles i.e. A,a and B,b. However, to be able to perform magic, a person would need to carry at least one copy of the dominant allele (A and B) on each of the two loci.

Hermione Granger has magical ability but neither one of her parents does. This means that although Hermione can perform magic, none of her parents can. Genetically, it means that Hermione posseses at least one copy of the dominant allele on each of the two loci i.e. her genotype is A_B_.

This is only possible in Hermione if her parents transferred a dominant allele at each loci to her. This means that the possible genotypes for Hermione Granger’s parents are aaBb (no magical ability) x AAbb (no magical ability). See the punnet square attached where the probability of producing offsprings with magical ability is 1/2 or 50%.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The offspring population will contains the desirable characteristics of both fantail pigeon and the fantail pigeon.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The selective breeding is the planned breeding between two organism of the population with desirable properties to result in the new traits from both parents in the single next generation offspring.
  • In this case, the offspring of the pouter pigeon and the fantail pigeon will contain the traits of pouter and it also has fantail.
  • The new generation will be selective breed an it is from the breeding of intra specie organism. If breeding is inter specie than the offspring is most probably infertile.
