a) 0.80
b) 0.4
c) 0.2

d) 0.1

a) 0.8

b) 0.4

c) 0.2

d) 0.1

e) 0.05

2.

a) A cross between AB/AB and ab/ab was performed to produce progeny that are now AB/ab. These AB/ab progeny were then crossed back to the homozygous mutant parent ab/ab to produce the following progeny:

d) 50 mu

e) 0.8 mu

f) 80 mu

d) abC

e) more than one of the above
