Question 84 - In Mendelian genetics, yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y) and round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r). (a) What is the probability P of Rr x Rr producing wrinkled seeds? (b) What is the probability P of Yy x yy producing green seeds? (c) What is the probability that RRYy x RrYy would produce RrYy?

Answer Posted / kangchuentat

(a) There are 3 types of seeds produced : RR, Rr, rR, rr where RR, Rr, rR (3) are dominantly round and rr (1) is recessively wrinkled. P (wrinkled) = 1 / (3 + 1) = 1 / 4. (b) There are 2 types of seeds produced : Yy, Yy, yy, yy where Yy (2) are dominantly yellow and yy (2) are recessively green. P (green) = 2 / (2 + 2) = 1 / 2. (c) Let RR x Rr produces RR, Rr, RR, Rr, then P (Rr) = 2 / 4 = 1 / 2. Let Yy x Yy produces YY, Yy, yY, yy, then P (Yy) = 2 / 4 = 1 / 2. P (RrYy) = P (Rr) x P (Yy) = 1 / 2 x 1 / 2 = 1 / 4.
