Question 31 pts

If two Aa parents have four children, predict the number of children with the following genotypes if probability exactly correlated with a specific outcome:

AA = [ Select ] ["1", "0", "2"]

Aa = [ Select ] ["1", "0", "2"]

aa = [ Select ] ["0", "2", "1"]

Flag question: Spacer

We can model the probability of offspring by flipping coins. Find two coins. One will represent the eggs produced by the mother, the other will represent the sperm produced by the father. Fill in this table. For each child, flip both coins. Heads will represent the A allele and tails will represent the a allele. (for example, in the first box, if you get two heads, you will write AA). Repeat this for each of the four families.
