Two genes assort independently. a prospective mother is homozygous recessive for gene "a" and homozygous dominant for gene "b." the father is heterozygous for gene "a" and homozygous recessive for gene "b." what is the probability that their child will be heterozygous for both the "a" and "b" genes?

50%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the genotype of the mother who is homozygous recessive for gene "A" and homozygous dominant for gene "B"= "aaBB". Likewise, the genotype of the father who is heterozygous for gene "A" and homozygous recessive for gene "B"= "Aabb".

A cross between aaBB and Aabb would produce a progeny in following genotype ratio= 1/2 AaBb : 1/2  aaBb

Therefore, there are 50% chances for this couple to have a child heterozygous for both A and B genes (AaBb).

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
