Question
What is the probability of the following set of parents producing the given genotype in their offspring?
Parents' Genotype
AaBb x AABb
Offspring Genotype
aabb
I'm still a little confused on the addition rules vs. multiplication rules when it comes to probability in genetics, and I know that this question directly involves these rules. I have several more questions like this one, and it would be beneficial to see how someone else works these problems. I am beginning to get the gist of these types of problems, but the more difficult ones throw me for a loop. Thank you so much for helping! Also, please don't copy from a website - believe me, I have been desperate enough to learn this that I have searched through online tutorials in addition to my textbook, etc for help :)
Thank you SO very much! :)
