imagine a locus with four different alleles for fur color in an animal, da, db, dc, and dd. if you crossed two heterozygotes, dadb and dcdd, what genotype proportions would you expect in the offspring?

Respuesta :

If crossed two heterozygotes, dadb and dcdd, the proportion of genotype in the offspring would be 25% DaDc, 25% DaDd, 25% DbDc, 25% DbDd.

What is heterozygotes and what is genotype and how come the genotype proportion is such?

  1. Heterozygotes is the category of genotype having two traits in the character of the offspring.
  2. Genotype is the combination of genes coding for a particular character of an offspring in the organism.
  3. Heterozygous and homozygous are the two category of genotype that can be depicted through the traits.
  4. Homozygous trait have both the trait similar and heterozygous trait have both traits different present in the character.
  5. Here the question is asked of the genotype proportions that is expected in the offspring out of the given alleles.
  6. Hence the genotypic proportion would be 25% DaDc, 25% DaDd, 25% DbDc, 25% DbDd in the offspring after crossing two heterozygotes.
