Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2CQ
A cross is made between individuals having the following genotypes: AaBbCCDd and AabbCcdd. What is the probability that an offspring will be AAbbCCDd? Hint: Don’t waste your time making a really large Punnett square. Make four small Punnett squares instead and use the product rule.

For the following cross, what proportion of offspring will have the same
genotype as the father?
Father's genotype: AaBbCcDdee
Mother's genotype: aaBbCCDdEe
Enter your answer to three decimal places (e.g., 0.08).
In tomatoes, red fruit color (R) is dominant over yellow fruit color (r). Do the following crosses:
Rr x rr Rr x RR rr x RR
Rr x Rr rr x Rr rr x rr
Show your Punnett square for each cross. For each cross also show the genotypic and phenotypic ratios.
What will be the PR and GR of the following crosses? Give also their phenotypes. (Designate your own phenotype for each character)
AaBb x aabb
AAbb x AaBB
AaBb x aaBB
AABb x aabb

- The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?arrow_forwardIn the following dihybrid cross: B/b; E/e x B/b; e/e What are the phenotypes of the offspring? 9/16 Black 3/16 brown 4/16 golden 9/16 Brown 3/16 Black 4/16 golden 9/16 Black 3/16 golden 4/16 brown 3/8 Black 1/8 brown 4/8 golden 3/8 golden 4/8 Black 1/8 brownarrow_forwardIf Y is the allele for the dominant yellow seed color and y is the allele for the recessive green seed color.

- Produce a Punnett square to illustrate the dihybrid cross described below (NOTE: It is the same story as in question 9, above so you may use the square that you produced in answer to question 9 to answer this question, you do not need to draw it twice). use it to fill in the blanks in the answer text below. NOTE: please type in whole numbers only, no symbols, no letters, no spaces. There are two common alleles for the TAS2R38 gene on Chromosome 7. This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor. This receptor controls the ability to taste glucosinolates. Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a synthetic glucosinolate. The recessive TAS2R38 allele produces a non-functional receptor. The father in this dihybrid cross is heterozygous for these alleles, meaning that he can taste PTC. The mother is homozygous recessive, meaning that she cannot taste PTC The father has X-Linked Protoporphyria which means that he is very sensitive to sunlight exposure, he is hemizygous for the…arrow_forwardProduce a Punnett square to illustrate the dihybrid cross described below (NOTE: It is the same story as in question 9, above so you may use the square that you produced in answer to question 9 to answer this question, you do not need to draw it twice). use it to fill in the blanks in the answer text below.
