Assume each locus follows Mendelian inheritance patterns for dominance What proportion of the offspring will have each of the following characteristics? Round your answers to two decimal places same genotype as the father same genotype as the mother Number Number .03 03 phenotypically resemble the father phenotypically resemble the mother Incorrect. See lower panel for more information Number Number .093 .093 phenotypically resemble neither parent Number .72 Previous # Try Again Next Exit Explanation

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

AaBbCcDdee (father) x aaBbCCDdEe (mother)

Aa x aa = Aa (1/2) & aa (1/2)

Bb x Bb = BB (1/4), Bb (1/2) & bb (1/4) or B_ (3/4) & bb (1/4)

Cc x CC = CC (1/2) & Cc (1/2) or C_ (1)

Dd x Dd = DD (1/4), Dd (1/2) & dd (1/4) or D_(3/4) & dd (1/4)

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

1. Same genotype as father = AaBbCcDdee = ½ * ½ * ½ * ½ * ½ = 1/32 = 0.03

2. Same genotype as mother = aaBbCCDdEe = ½ * ½ * ½ * ½ * ½ = 1/32 = 0.03

3. Phenotypically resemble the father = A_B_C_D_ee = ½ * 3/4 * 1 * 3/4 * ½ = 1/64 = 0.02

4. Phenotypically resemble the mother = aaB_C_D_E_ = ½ * 3/4 * 1 * 3/4 * ½ = 1/64 = 0.02

5. Phenotypically resemble neither parent = 1-(0.02 + 0.02) = 0.96
