Answer :
Answer:
A. same genotype as the father (AaBbCcDdee) = (½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½) = 0.03
B. phenotypically resemble the father (A_B_C_D_ee) = (½ x ½ x ¾ x 1 x ½) = 0.09
C. same genotype as the mother (aabbCcDDEe) = (½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½) = 0.03
D. phenotypically resemble the mother (aabbC_D_E_) = (½ x ½ x ¾ x 1 x ½) = 0.09
E. phenotypically resemble neither parent (simply subtract the probability of phenotypically resembling each parent from 1) = 1 – (0.09375 + 0.09375) = 0.81
Explanation:
The computation of the total probability would simply be the product of individual chances for each particular gene.

The study of genes and inheritance is called genetics.
The correct answer is 0.81
What are genes?
- The structural and functional unit of the DNA is genes and able to code the sequence of the DNA.
The answer is as follows:-
- Same genotype as the father (AaBbCcDdee) =[tex]\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} [/tex] = 0.03
- Phenotypically resemble the father (A_B_C_D_ee) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*1*\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{2} = 0.09[/tex]
- Same genotype as the mother (aabbCcDDEe) = [tex]\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} [/tex]= 0.03phenotypically resemble the mother (aabbC_D_E_) =[tex]\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}* \frac{3}{4} *1*\frac{1}{2} = 0.09[/tex]
Phenotypically resemble neither parent (simply subtract the probability of phenotypically resembling each parent from 1)[tex] = 1 - (0.09375 + 0.09375) = 0.81[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is 0.81
