Answer:
The correct genotype of the two pure lines and the F1 is:
A⁺A⁺B⁰B⁰C⁰C⁰D⁰D⁰ and A⁰A⁰B⁺B⁺C⁺C⁺D⁺D⁺
The number of additive alleles on each genotype are two and six respectively.
Explanation:
Locus( plural form . loci) are fixed point on a chromosome in which genes are located. These genes are specific genetic material or genotype.
Now;
If we decide to designate the allele of the four loci into either additive (⁺) or non-additive(⁰); we have the following :
Let's the allele of the four loci to be
A⁺/A⁰, B⁺/B⁰, C⁺/C⁰ and D⁺/D⁰
However, from the diagram below; we deduce that the correct genotype for the two pure lines and the F1 is as follows:
A⁺A⁺B⁰B⁰C⁰C⁰D⁰D⁰ and A⁰A⁰B⁺B⁺C⁺C⁺D⁺D⁺ and the number of additive alleles on each genotype are two and six respectively.
The cross between both F1 traits will yield an heterozygous individual for the offspring. i.e A⁺A⁰B⁺B⁰C⁺C⁰D⁺D⁰ with only four additive allele
