Organisms with the genotypes AABbCCDd and AaBbCcDd are cross
Organisms with the genotypes AABbCCDd and AaBbCcDd are crossed. What are the expected proportions of the following progeny?
1. A_B_C_D_.
2. AabbCcDd
3. a phenotype identical to either parent.
4. A_B_ccdd
please help..
Solution
Answer:
AA x Aa = AA (1/2), Aa (1/2)
Bb x Bb = BB (1/4), Bb (1/2), bb (1/4)
CC x Cc = CC (1/2), Cc (1/2)
Dd x Dd = DD (1/4), Dd (1/2), dd (1/4)
1). A_B_C_D_
A_ = AA + Aa =1/2 + 1/2 = 1
B_ = BB + Bb = 1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4
C_ = CC + Cc = 1
D_ = DD + Dd = 3/4
1 * 3/4 * 1 * 3/4 = 9/16
The expected proportion of A_B_C_D_ progeny = 9/16
2)
The expected proportion of AabbCcDd progeny = 1/2 * 1/4 * 1/2 * 1/2 =1/32
3)
A phenotype identical to either parent means AABbCCDd and AaBbCcDd`= (1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2) + (1/2 * 1/2 *1/2 *1/2)
= (1/16) + (1/16) = 1/8
4). A_B_ccdd
As cc phenotype is not possible, so the phenotype of A_B_ccdd is not possible.
