Using Rules of Probability to Solve Genetics Problems

I'm totally lost in this subject especially when i have to solve problems using probability for trihybrid. I have of not knowing when to use the Rule of Addition and when to us the rule om Multiplication. I will try to show you what i know and maybe you can help me impron on what i already know. R r R(RR)(Rr) r(r ...continues

Finding a simple method in using probability to solve a hybrid cross

The genotype of F1 individuals in a tetrahybrid cross is AaBbCcDd. Assuming independent assortment of these four genes, what are the probabilities that F2 offspring will have the following genotypes? a)aabbccdd b)AaBbCcDd c)AABBCCDD d)AaBBCcDd e)AaBBCCdd Now that i'm given this information, the first thing i normally ...continues

Genetics

1. a. The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide is an autosomal dominant phenotype, and the inability to taste it is recessive. If a taster woman with a nontaster father marries a taster man who in a previous marriage had a nontaster daughter, what is the probability that their first child will be (1) A nontaster ...continues

For the problems attached please show the symbols used in human pedigree analysis and/or Punnett Square if needed. Please also explain answers. Thank you! --- 1. A sex-linked recessive allele c produces a red-green colorblindness in humans. A normal woman whose father was colorblind carries a colorblind man. a. What ...continues

Genetics/Meiosis questions

How many types of telophase II products can be formed if a homozygote (AA or aa) is under study? How many types of telophase II products can be formed if a heterozygote (Aa) is under study? How many kinds of gametes can be formed if the genotype is AABB? Make a drawing of this type of cell in Prophase I. Label the chromo ...continues

4 genetics questions

1. Draw all possible chromosome configurations in Metaphase I with a dihybrid AaBb. 2. Do the same things as in question 1 for the genotype AaBbCc. 3. How many types of gametes would result from a dihybrid AaBb? What are they? 4. What portion of the zygotes will be a. AaBBCc? b. AABBCc? c. AaBbCc?

Using Probability to solve a genetic problems

Hi, I don't have a problem with the question itself but i don't understand how my textbook use probabilty in solving the problem. How many genetically different eggs could be formed by a women with the following genotypes? Aa bb CC DD Now it's obvious that one gamete will have (A b C D) and the other gamete will hav ...continues

probability (product rule vs sum rule)

I have a problem. I don't seem to understand when to use the product rule or the sum rule. Now, my textbook states that i should use the product rule for two or more independent events occuring together. And the sum rule for mutually exclussive events occuring. After reading this definition several times, i still don't ...continues
