Question 30 • DRHS GA-GSE Environmental Science

Breeders can use a Punnett square to predict the outcome of a genetic cross. If the genotype of both parents was Aa, what would be expected of the genotypes among their possible offspring?

Answer
A
Half would have the genotype AA.
B
Half would have the genotype Aa.
C
Three-quarters would have the genotype aa.
D
Three-quarters would have the genotype Aa.

Explanation

Each Aa parent can pass on either A or a. Combining these possibilities gives offspring genotypes AA, Aa, Aa, and aa. Two of the four outcomes are Aa, so half would have the genotype Aa, making choice B correct.
