i) What are the possible genotypes of the offspring of a cross between an Aa male parent x Aa female parent? Fill in Punnett Square below with the possible genotypes of the gametes and offspring. Father's gametes Mother's gametes The outside of the Punnett Square is reserved for the alleles that make up the genotype of the parental gametes. The inside of the Punnett Square illustrates the four possible outcomes of a fertilization event involving the two specific parental gametes. All of the combinations are equally likely, meaning that there is a 1/4 chance of each outcome occurring due to Mendel's Law of Segregation. If the mother contributes the A allele, the resulting offspring's genotypes are those in the dark pink column. If the mother contributes the a allele, the resulting offspring's genotypes are those found in the light pink column. If the father contributes the A allele, the genotype of the resulting offspring are in the dark blue row, and if he contributes the a allele, the genotype of the resulting offspring are those in the light blue row. j) Answer questions i-vi below based on your Punnett Square in i). How many offsprings have: i) A homozygous genotype? ii) A heterozygous genotype? iii) The genotype aa? iv) The mother's genotype? v) A genotype different from the father? vi) The genotype Aa? Hint: Does the order in which you write the alleles of a genotype change the genotype? i) What are the possible genotypes of the offspring of a cross between an Aa male parent x Aa female parent?
