Round seed is dominant over wrinkled. Yellow cotyledon is dominant over green. Full pod is dominant over constricted. The genes for these traits are found on separate chromosomes. If a trihybrid plant is self-fertilized, what is the chance of an offspring having wrinkled seed with yellow cotyledons in full pods? Express answer in fraction form.
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
