Probability calculations

In genetics, probability is a measurement tool that helps us predict the chances of an offspring being inherited with a particular trait of interest. In diploid organisms, during the formation of gametes by the process of meiosis there is a 50% chance for each of the chromosomes to get passed on to the gamete. Problems: In dogs, black coat color (B) is dominant to yellow coat color (b), and straight fur (C) is dominant to curly fur (c). The coat color gene and the fur texture gene are on different chromosomes, so they assort independently, and are not sex linked. In a cross between two BbCc parents, predict the fraction of offspring with black coat color and straight fur. In a cross between two BbCc parents, predict the fraction of offspring with black coat color and straight fur. A) 9/16 B) 3/4 C) 15/16 D) 1/16 For the cross AaBbCCdd x AabbCcDd, what are the odds of getting offspring with the recessive phenotype for all four traits? A) 0 B) 1/16 C) 1/32 D) 1/64 #genetics #probability #statistics #pedigree #genotype #phenotype #DominantAllele #RecessiveAllele #AutosomalTrait #SexlinkedTrait #homozygous #heterozygous #Genetics #PedigreeAnalysis #pedigreeAnalysisPractice #pedigreeAnalysisGenetics #pedigreeAnalysisProbability #pedigreeAnalysisAnswers #pedigreeCharts #HowToSolvePedigreeProblems #solvePedigreeProblems #solvingPedigreeProblems #pedigreeProblemsAndSolutions #howToAnalyzePedigree #analyzingPedigree #geneticsProblems
