Question

g Assume that IQ in monkeys is determined by 3 genes. The baseline IQ is 50 points. Every dominant allele adds 10 IQ points to a monkey's IQ. Every recessive allele adds 0 points to a monkey's IQ. Based on this inheritance, what would be the IQ of a monkey that results from the mating of the lowest possible IQ monkey (aabbcc) and the highest possible IQ monkey (AABBCC)

Answer 1

80

Step-by-step explanation:

The mating of the lowest possible IQ monkey (aabbcc) and the highest possible IQ monkey (AABBCC) will most likely be AaBbCc.Since the baseline IQ is 50 and every dominant allele adds 10 IQ, the IQ of the resulting monkey is 80;50 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 80

Answer 2

80

Step-by-step explanation:

The mating of the lowest possible IQ monkey (aabbcc) and the highest possible IQ monkey (AABBCC) will most likely be AaBbCc.

Since the baseline IQ is 50 and every dominant allele adds 10 IQ, the IQ of the resulting monkey is 80;

50 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 80
