Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If 1/64 of the offspring resemble one of the parents, this suggests that there is only one gene pair involved in determining this trait. This means that the trait is likely controlled by a single dominant or recessive allele, which is why such a small proportion of offspring show the phenotype. Therefore, only 3 gene pairs (2 alleles per gene) would be involved in producing these results.
