Question

If two gene pairs, A and a and B and b, are assorting independently with A dominant to a and B dominant to b, what is the probability of obtaining:

a) an AB gamete from an AaBb individual?
b) an AB gamete from a AABb individiaul?
c) an AABB individual from the cross AaBb x AaBb?
d) an AABB individual from the cross aabb x AABB?
e) an AB phenotype from the cross AaBb x AaBb?
f) an AB phenotype from the cross aabb x AABB?
g) an aB phenotype from the cross AaBb x AaBB?
h) an AB phenotype from Aabb x Aabb?

Explanation / Answer

The probabilty for getting aB phenotype from such a cross will be 1/4.
