Chapter 3, Problem 18PDQ
When working out genetics problems in this and succeeding chapters, always assume that members of the P1 generation are homozygous, unless the information or data you are given require you to do otherwise.
Consider three independently assorting gene pairs, A/a, B/b, and C/c, where each demonstrates typical dominance (A–, B–, C–)and recessiveness (aa, bb,cc). What is the probability of obtaining an offspring that is AABbCc from parents that are AaBbCC and AABbCc?

When working out genetics problems in this and succeeding chapters, always assume that members of the P1 generation are homozygous, unless the information or data you are given require you to do otherwise.HOW DO WE KNOW? we focused on the Mendelian postulates, probability, and pedigree analysis. We also considered some of the methods and reasoning by which these ideas, concepts, and techniques were developed. On the basis of these discussions,
what answers would you propose to the followingquestion.
Question: Since experimental crosses are not performed in humans, how do we know how traits are inherited?
PLease help, double and triple check your answers, im using this to study, these questions are NOT graded they are PRACTICE problems. Please help with all 4 parts of this question!!!!!!!
A. Your maternal grandpa is colorblind but both your mom and dad are not affected. What are the chances of your sister being colorblind? What are the chances of your brother being colorblind? (Colorblindness is X-linked recessive)
B. Regarding the problem above, if your sister’s husband is colorblind, what are the chances that their first son will be colorblind?
C. Two genes, A and X, exhibit incomplete linkage. The frequency of each parental gamete (AX and ax) is 45%. What is the approximate frequency of the Ax gamete?
D. There are three genes located in the gene order A--B--C on a chromosome. Would you expect the recombination frequency to be higher between A and B or A and C?
Required information
A single-factor cross is one in which the inheritance of only one character and its associated genotypes are followed.
Punnett squares are often used to predict the outcomes of simple genetic crosses. Based on Mendel's laws, the
genotypes of the parents can be used to predict the genes in their gametes and the resulting progeny. A Punnett square
enables you to predict the types of offspring the parents are expected to produce and in what proportions.
Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans. In a cross between two parents who are heterozygous for the gene, what are the gamete possibilities of the parer
