A researcher is studying 5 independently assorting genes in an agriculturally important plant. The following cross was made: Bb Ff GG kk Pp X bb Ff gg Kk Pp What is the probability of obtaining progeny displaying the dominant trait for all five genes or inr words a phenotype of BPGKP? Assume complete dominance for nil genes. Zero 9/256 9/128 9/16 none of the previous

Solution

The probability of obtaining progeny displaying the dominant trait for all five genes or in other words a phenotype of BFGKP remain zero. Eventhough the cross assumes complete dominance, the percentage of dominant genes remains comparatively less when compared to recessive genes.
