Question

For the mating AaBBDdGg x AabbDdGG, draw the monhybrid punnet squares, one for each of the four genes shown in the cross. Assume that all genes assort independently.

What fraction of the offspring would have the phenotype A_B_D_G?

What fraction of the offspring would have the  phenotype aaB_ddG_?

Expert Solution
Step 1

A Punnett square is defined as the graphical representation of possible genotypes of offspring arising from a particular cross. It includes a tabular form with a different combination of gametes. Each box in the table is the one fertilization event. An allele is used to denote variants of genes. When organisms having two copies of the same allele then their genotype is homozygous and if two copies of the allele are different then their genotype is heterozygous.
