Explanation / Answer

3)

A trihybrid cross AA BB rr X aa bb RR is made in a plant species in which A and B are completely dominant to a and b, but there is incomplete dominance beteen R and r. The offspring may contain Aa Bb and Rr phenotypes. The heterozygotes does not affect the phenotype of organisms.

Hence option a is correct.

4)

The probability of getting back out the parental aa bb RR genotype is as follows

The cross between Aa x Aa results in aa offspring is 1/4

The cross betweenBb x Bb results in bb offspring is 1/4

The cross between Rr x Rr results in RR offspring is 1/4

Hence probability of getting back out the parental aa bb RR genotype is = 1/4 x1/4 x 1/4 = 1/64.

Option e is correct.
