Answer #1

Cross between Aa Bb × aa bb will have the offspring with the following genotypes.

Aa Bb × aa bb = Aa Bb (1/4), aA bb (1/4), aa Bb (1/4), aa bb (1/4). Thus, the proportion of the progeny with the genotype Aa Bb is 1/4.

    Genes W, Y, Z assort independently and are dominant over their corresponding alleles w, y, z. You conduct an experiment where you set up a cross between two individuals heterozygous for each trait [Ww Yy Zz x Ww Yy Zz].
