Please answer in its entirety H. Consider the following cross: Aa BB Cc Dd EE (male) X Aa Bb Cc Dd EE (female) How many cells (boxes) would there be on a Punnett square for this cross if you were to make one? 2) What t traction of the offspring from this cross would you expect to have the same genotype as the male parent? i (of the Offspirgs cot what fraction of the offspring from this cross would you expe ct to be homozygous for all five genes?

Explanation / Answer

H..1. ans= 1024 boxes in a Punnett square

Assuming that all traits exhibit independent assortment, the number of allele combinations an individual can produce is two raised to the power of the number of traits. For two traits, an individual can produce 4 allele combinations (2^2). Five traits produce 32 combinations (2^3). So in a cross each individual will have 32. So 32 x32= 1024 boxes.

H 3. Fraction of offspring homozygous for all genes

Aa x Aa= AA, Aa, aA, aa (Homozygous are AA and aa) so 2/4 or 1/2

BB x Bb= BB, Bb, BB,, Bb (Homozygous are BB which is 2/4 or 1/2

Cc x Cc= CC, Cc,, cC, cc = 2/4 or1/2

Dd xDd= DD, Dd, dD, dd= 2/4 or 1/2

EE xEE= EE,EE EE, EE= 4/4= 1

So fraction homozygous are 1/2 x1/ 2x 1/2 x1/2 x 1= 1/16

H 5. Dominant phenotype for all genes

Aa x Aa= AA, Aa, aA, aa (Dominant phenotypes will be with AA Aa and aA) so 3/4.

BB x Bb= BB, Bb, BB,, Bb Dominant phenotypes will be with BB and Bb) so 4/4=1

Cc x Cc= CC, Cc,, cC, cc =Dominant phenotypes will be with CC Cc and cC, so 3/4

Dd xDd= DD, Dd, dD, dd= Dominant phenotypes will be with DD,Dd and dD, so 3/4

EE xEE= EE,EE EE, EE= 4/4= 1

Fraction of offspring with dominant phenotypes= 3/4 x 1 x3/4 x 3/4 x 1= 27/64.

3 Albinism

Cc x Cc= CC, Cc cC and cc. So 1/4 will be albino.

a. All four are normal= 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 x3/4= 81/256

b. Three normal and 1 albino= 3/4 x3/4 x3/4 x 1/4= 27/256

c. Two normal and two albino= 3/4 x3/4 x 1/4 x 1/4= 9/256

d. One normal and 3 albino= 3/4 x 1/4 x1/4 x1/4= 3/256.

e. All four albino= 1/4 x1/4 x1/4 x1/4= 1/256.

Q. Probability to solve problems in genetics

AaBb x AaBb

c. Phenotype A- bb= 3/4 x 1/4= 3/16 or Genotype AAbb= 1/4 x 1/4= 1/16

So probability (A-bb or AAbb)= 3/16 + 1/16= 4/16= 1/4

d. Phenotype A-B-= 3/4 x 3/4= 9/16 or genotype aabb= 1/4 x 1/4= 1/16

So probability (A-B- or aabb)= 9/16 + 1/16= 10/16= 5/8.
