What is the probability that a gamete from an individual with the genotype E₁E₂X₁X₁A₁A₂M₂M₂will contain all paternally derived homologues?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of a gamete containing all paternally derived homologues is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of inheriting each paternal allele. For each gene pair (E, X, A, M), the probability is 1/2. Since there are four gene pairs, the probability is (1/2)^4 = 1/16.
