Question

Two organisms, with the genotypes FFEe and FfEE, are mated. Assuming independent assortment of the F/f and E/e genes: 1) Provide the genotypes of all possible offspring from this cross and use the rules of probability to calculate the chance of each genotype occurring.

Answer 1

FFEE, FfEE, FFEe, and FfEe

All the progeny show same 1/4 or 25% probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given; parents are with genotype FFFe and FfEE

F/f and E/e are showing independent assortment,

1. Genotype of all possible offspring are;

gamete from parent FFEe are; FE and Fe ,

gamete from parent FfEE are; FE and fE.

So genotype of offspring are: FFEE, FfEE, FFEe, and FfEe

2. All the progeny show same 1/4 or 25% probability.
