Assume that k and m are two unlinked genes that affect hearing. The dominant k allele is necessary for hearing, and the dominant m allele causes deafness regardless of the other genes present. Given this, what fraction of the offspring of parents with the genotypes kkmm and kkmm will most likely be deaf?.

Respuesta :

The percentage that the offspring will be deaf is 75%. Two punnet squares are needed each for km and Kkmm individuals. In punnet square 1, half of the genotypes are Km and km while half are Mm and kk in punnet square 2. The two punnet squares are then combined to form a final one where a quarter of the offspring is deaf.

What does genotype mean?

In a wide sense, the word"genotype" refers to the genetic makeup of an organism;  it defines an organism's complete set of genes. In a more thin sense, the term can be used to guide the alleles, or variant forms of a gene, that are carried by an organism.

Thus, this could be the answer.
