Question

Suppose that leg length in the Halkan pogo-bouncer, a common insect on the planet Terran02, is determined by five loci, A, B, C, D and E. Pogo-bouncers with the genotype aabbccddee have legs that are 5 mm long; and those with the genotype AABBCCDDEE have legs that are 55 mm long What is the leg length of our friendly pogo-bouncer whose genotype is AaBBCcDDEe? A. 75 mm B. 20 mm C. 30 mm D. 40 mm E. 25 mm

Answer 1

40mm

Step-by-step explanation:

each AABBCCDDEE = 55

each will contribute 55/5 = 11

thus, AaBBCcDDEe will be 5.5 + 11 + 5.5 +11 + 5.5 = 38.5, approx. 40mm
