Chapter 17, Problem 2CQ
A cross is made between individuals having the following genotypes: AaBbCCDd and AabbCcdd. What is the probability that an offspring will be AAbbCCDd? Hint: Don’t waste your time making a really large Punnett square. Make four small Punnett squares instead and use the product rule.

- The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black.
