d. 6/16 or 3/8 Crossing two heterozygous individuals produces a dominant phenotype 3/4 of the time (a). Crossing a homozygous recessive with a heterozygous produces a dominant phenotype 2/4 or 1/2 of the time. Thus, to have both traits, simply multiply the two, 2/4 * 3/4 = 6/16. r R +------ r | rr rR a) R | rR RR = 3/4 r R +------ r | rr rR b) r | rr RR = 2/4 I hope this helps, don't forget to rate. Feel free to ask for clarification. Cheers, Tox-ga |

As the question may appear it looks like I am asking someone to do my homework for me but the truth is that these questions are from a test that I failed and I am now seeking other ways to better understand these concepts. I have tried to seek other help with my professor but she has not been responsive. |
