Trihybrid Cross: AaBbCc X AaBbCc
What's the probablity of ABC phenotype?
What's the probability of AaBbcc genotype?
For this question, we need to understand that for dominant allele in genetics we use upper-case letters and for recessive allele lower-case letters.
In order to solve the probability of a specific phenotype and genotype, we need to use a Punnet-square which is a graphical method to visualize all the possible combinations of different types of gametes.
Punnett square for genotypes (we get 64 punnett square):
The phenotype ratio is the following
ABC= 27
aBc=9
AbC=9
abC=3
ABc=9
aBc=3
Abc=3
abc=1
What's the probability of ABC phenotype?
Considering the total of phenotype for ABC is 27 and the TOTAL number of genotypes is 64
We get the probability of P=27/64=0.4218
What's the probability of AaBbcc genotype?
The total number of AaBbcc genotype is 4 and the total number of genotypes is 64.
The probability is P=4/64=0.0625
