Answer:

Predicting the genotype of offspring

There are four possible combinations of gametes for the AaBb parent. Half of the gametes get a dominant A and a dominant B allele; the other halfs of the gametes get a recessive a and a recessive b allele. Both parents produce 25% each of AB, Ab, aB, and ab.

Explanation:

Phenotype

  • A
  • B
  • AB
  • 0

Possible Genotypes

  • AA or AO
  • BB or BO
  • AB
  • 00

These percentages are determined based on the fact that each of the 4 offspring boxes in a Punnet square is 25% (1 out of 4). As to phenotypes, 75% will be Y and only 25% will be G. These will be the odds everytime a new offspring is conceived by parents with YG genotypes.

hope it helps
