Solution Summary

The phenotypic ratios for offspring crosses are determined. The present alleles are analyzed.

Solution Preview

Since the genes are independent, you should analyze their crosses individually.

For the first gene ("a"), the cross will be Aa X aa.
Offspring will be either Aa or aa ...
