Answer:

a. Genotype of male parent= BbNn

Genotype of female parent: bbnn

b: Progeny ratio= 1: 1: 1: 1

c: 1/4

Explanation:

a. Genotype of male parent= BbNn

Genotype of female parent: bbnn

b. Gamete formed by the male parent: BN: Bn: bN: bn in 1:1:1:1 ratio.

Gametes formed by female parent: All gametes with "bn" alleles.

c.  The probability that the offspring will have a genotype of Bbnn=

Bb x bb= 1/2 Bb: 1/2 bb

Nn x nn= 1/2 Nn: 1/2 nn

Therefore, probability that the offspring will have a genotype of Bbnn= 1/2 Bb x 1/2 nn= 1/2.

Assuming diallelic genes that assort independently, a) BbNn and bbnn / b) 25% BbNn, 25% Bbnn, 25% bbNn, 25% bbnn / c) genotype Bbnn = 1/4 = 25% / d) 0.25 x 1 = 0.25 = 25%

---------------------------

Available data:

  • Two diallelic genes, B and N
  • Gene B codes for exoskeleton
  • Gene N codes for leg size
  • B is the dominant allele
  • b is the recessive allele
  • N is the dominant allele
  • n is the recessive allele
  • Male heter0zyg0us for both traits ⇒ BbNn
  • Female h0m0zyg0us recessive for both traits ⇒ bbnn

Cross) male x female

Parentals)        BbNn              x         bbnn

F1) Genotype

  • 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% BbNn
  • 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% Bbnn
  • 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% bbNn
  • 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% bbnn

Genotypic ratio ⇒ 1:1:1:1

To calculate the probabilities of getting a certain genotype without the Punnett square, we can just perform a multiplication of the probability of these gametes meeting during fertilization. This is,

The male provides four types of gametes, each with the same probabilities of meeting the female gamete.

Gametes:

  • NB = 0.25
  • Nb = 0.25
  • nB = 0.25
  • nb = 0.25

The female can only provide one type of gamete because she is h0m0zyg0us for both traits, so these gametes will have a 100% probability of meeting a male's gamete.

Gamete:

  • nb = 1

To calculate the probabilities of getting the genotype Bbnn, we just need to multiply the probabilities of gamete Bn (male) meeting gamete bn (female).

Bn  x  bn  = 0.25 x 1 = 0.25 = 25%

a) Male ⇒ BbNn

  Female ⇒ bbnn

b) Offspring

  • 25% BbNn
  • 25% Bbnn
  • 25% bbNn
  • 25% bbnn

c)  Probability of getting the genotype Bbnn = 1/4 = 25%

d) Bn  x  bn  = 0.25 x 1 = 0.25 = 25%
