Question

Transcribed Image Text:1) Imagine a cross between two individuals whose genotypes for six independently segregating loci are (P#1) AABbCcddEeFf and (P#2) AabbCcDDEeFf. For each locus, upper case letters indicate dominant traits; lower case letters indicate recessive traits. (That is, genotypes AA and Aa give phenotype “A”; genotype aa gives phenotype “a.”) P#1 means parent number 1, and P#2 means parent number 2.
(a) How many different types of gametes can each parent produce? How many different entries would there be in a Punnett Square for this cross?
(b) How many different phenotypes and genotypes can result from this cross?
(c) What fraction of the progeny will be phenotypically identical to parent P#1. What fraction will be genotypically identical to the parent P#2?
(d) What fraction of the progeny will be homozygous at all six loci? What fraction will be heterozygous at exactly five of the six loci?
