Answer to Question #270334 in Cell Biology for Dave

Question

Zucchini has three autosomal genes that exist on three separate homologous pairs of chromosomes. Each is completely dominant over its recessive form. Here they are:

A = curly shape    B = green color      D = spotted

a = straight shape    b = yellow color      d = unspotted

* Figure out the probability of progeny with curly, yellow, spotted zucchinis arising from the cross of parents with the following genotypes:

   AaBbDd X AAbbDd      Probability = _____________

Answer 1

Probability B= 1/4

Probability A= 1/8
