Question

Arun · Answer

Dear Amisha

Since the inheritance of each gene is independent, So in order to solve this problem, each gene is analysed separately.

1. Aa x Aa = 1/4 AA; 1/2 Aa and 1/4 aa. This means 1/2 offsprings have Aa.
2. bb x bb = all bb = 1.
3. CC x cc = all Cc = 1
4. Dd x dd= 1/2 Dd, 1/2 dd. This means 1/2 offsprings have Dd.
5. Ee x ee = 1/2 Ee, 1/2 ee. This means 1/2 offsprings have ee.
Phenotypic proportion that look like AabbCcDdee
1/2 x 1 x 1 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8.

Hence in% = 100/8 = 12.5%

According to the law of independent inheritance, the alleles are inherited independently. Hence, in the given question, each gene is analysed separately. 1. Aa x Aa = 1/4 AA, 1/2 Aa and 1/4 aa. Hence, 1/2 or 50% offsprings will have Aa. 2. Similarly, bb x bb = all bb. Hence, all offsprings will have bb. 3. cc x CC = all Cc. Hence, all ossprings will have Cc. 4. Dd x dd = 1/2​ Dd and 1/2 dd. Hence, 1/2 or 50% offsprings will have Dd. 5. Ee x ee = 1/2​ Ee and 1/2 ee. Hence, 1/2 or 50% offsprings will have ee. Hence, frequency of AabbCcDdee will be 1/2 x 1 x 1 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8, which is equal to 12.5%. Thus, the correct answer is '12.5%.
