What phenotypic ratio of the progeny results from independent assortment of two traits when parents are heterozygous for both traits?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When parents are heterozygous for both traits and they independently assort, the resulting progeny will follow a 9:3:3:1 ratio. This means that 9/16 of the progeny will have both dominant traits, 3/16 will have one dominant and one recessive trait, 3/16 will have the other dominant and recessive trait, and 1/16 will have both recessive traits. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
