Explanation of Solution
Tabular representation: Table.1: The proportion of possible genotypes formed in offsprings obtained by the cross
Genetic cross | Probability of possible genotype of offspring | |
Cross between genes present on locus 1 (A and a): | ||
Cross between genes present on locus 2 (B and b): | ||
Cross between genes present on locus 3 (C and c): | ||
Cross between genes present on locus 4 (D and d): | ||
Cross between genes present on locus 5 (E and e): |

d.
To determine:
The proportion of the genotype
d.
Explanation of Solution
In the given cross the genotype of parent 1 is
Similarly parent 2 will not contribute to allele B as it is homozygous for allele b. It can pass only allele b to the offspring.
