Two individuals heterozygous for gene Q produced gametes by meiosis, then mated and fertilized one egg. What is the probability that both the egg and sperm will carry the recessive allele? Multiple Choice 0.5 0.75 0.25 1.0 0.1

Two identical cells heterozygous for gene Q are undergoing meiosis. What is the probability that two haploid gametes selected from the products of meiosis both contain a recessive allele for gene Q? 1) 0.5 2) 0.1 3) 0.25 4) 0.75 5) 1.0

'Consider a gene with two alleles that show complete dominance: When a homozygous recessive individual (qq) is crossed with a heterozygous individual (Qq) , they have a 50 percent chance of producing a homozygous recessive offspring: The next time these two individuals breed, what are the chances that they will once again have a homozygous recessive progeny? 0 percent 25 percent 50 percent 75 percent'
