If I do a self cross between a heterozygous AaLlRr what's the probability...

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Of getting an all homozygous dominant? Homozygous recessive?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Answer says \(\frac{ 1 }{8}\) for homozygous Dom, but why isn't it also the same for recessive?

thomaster (thomaster):

there will be 8 different gamete genotypes ALR ALr Alr aLR alR AlR aLr alr 8x8 = 64 different offspring genotypes If you draw a punnett square for this one and you'll see that only 1 offspring will have a homozygous genotype for all alleles. And only 1 has a recessive genotype for all alleles. change of all homozygous dominant is 1 out of 64. same for full recessive. added the square so you can see it.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

It answer showed 1:8 for three homozygous dominant, but 1:64 for homozygous recessive. Which is where I was lost thanks for the clarification
