Question

10. An individual can have two different copies of a gene, and we often use different letters to represent different genes with capital/lower-case letters representing different versions of a gene (i.e, different alleles). A diploid individual (with two copies of each gene) will make haploid gametes (with only one copy of each gene-1 allele). What is the probability that an individual with a genotype of GgPp will produce a gamete that carries: o A G allele? o A G and a g allele? o Agand a P allele? o Ag and a p allele?

Explanation / Answer

The four probable alleles formed by the individual is as follows

Therefore the probability of the gamete having

G allele is 1; G and g is 0; g and P is 1; and g and p is 1.
