A genetic cross involving two unlinked genes is represented.AaGG x aaGgWhich genotype is NOT possible in the offspring produced by the cross?Ask Studybuddy (Login to use)Group of answer choicesaaGgAaggaaGGAaGG
Solution
The cross is between AaGG (Parent 1) and aaGg (Parent 2).
Let's break down the possible combinations:
Parent 1 can pass on either AG or aG. Parent 2 can pass on either aG or aG.
So the possible combinations for the offspring are:
- AaGG (AG from Parent 1 and aG from Parent 2)
- aaGG (aG from Parent 1 and aG from Parent 2)
- AaGg (AG from Parent 1 and aG from Parent 2)
- aaGg (aG from Parent 1 and aG from Parent 2)
Therefore, the genotype that is NOT possible in the offspring produced by the cross is Aagg. This is because Parent 1 can only pass on a G allele, not a g allele.
