Question

YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK TO GET CREDIT! (You might want to try to apply the probability to this question rather than using punnet analysis to answer this question....It should faster) 6. (4 pts) For the following cross: Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff X AA Bb Cc Dd ee Ff, what is the probability of obtaining an individual who is: A. Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff B. A-B-C-D-E-F- C. Assuming that all the genes assort independently, how many different phenotypes will be present among the progeny for the cross described above? SHOW YOUR WORK! EXPLAIN HOW YOU DETERMINED THIS ANSWER FOR FULL CREDIT. D. Assuming that all the genes assort independently, how many different genotypes will be present among the progeny for the cross described above? SHOW YOUR WORK!

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

AaBbccDdEeff x AABbCcDdeeFf ------Parents

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)

Ee x ee = Ee (1/2) & ee (1/2)

ff x Ff = Ff (1/2) & ff (1/2)

A).

The probability of AaBbCcDdEeff = ½ * ½ * ½ * ½ * ½ * ½ = 1/64

B).

A_B_C_D_E_F_ = 1 * ¾ * ½ * ¾ * ½ * ½ = 9/128

C).

AaBbccDdEeff x AABbCcDdeeFf

Aa x AA = A_ = 1 phenotype

Bb x Bb = B_ & bb = 2 phenotypes

cc x Cc = Cc & cc = 2 phenotypes

Dd x Dd = D_ & dd =2 phenotypes

Ee x ee = Ee & ee = 2 phenotypes

ff x Ff = Ff & ff = 2 phenotypes

Total number of phenotypes = 1 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 32 different types of phenotypes

D).

AaBbccDdEeff x AABbCcDdeeFf

Aa x AA = AA & Aa = 2 genotypes

Bb x Bb = BB, Bb & bb = 3 genotypes

cc x Cc = Cc & cc = 2 genotypes

Dd x Dd = DD, Dd & dd = 3 genotypes

Ee x ee = Ee & ee = 2 genotypes

ff x Ff = Ff & ff = 2 genotypes

Total number of genotypes = 2 * 3 * 2 * 3 * 2 * 2 = 144 different types of phenotypes
