organisms with the genotypes aabbccddeeff and aabbccddeeff are crossed. assuming independent segregation and complete dominance for each trait, what is the expected proportion of the progeny that will be homozygous for all of the genes?

Mendel's law of independent assortment is a theory which states that the alleles of two or more different genes are sorted into unique gametes that are independent of each another.

This ultimately implies that, the allele that is typically being received by a gamete for one gene doesn't influence or affect the type of allele that is received for another gene.

Assuming independent segregation and complete dominance for each trait, the cross-breeding would be a pentahybrid cross as shown below:

Pentahybrid cross = AaBbCcDdEE × AaBbCcDdee

Next, we would simplify this pentahybrid cross by converting to five (5) monohybrid crosses as follows:

Aa × Aa = 1/2 (hm, AA, aa) 1/2 (hetero, Aa).
Bb × Bb = 1/2 (hm), 1/2 (hetero).
Cc × Cc = 1/2 (hm), 1/2 (hetero).
Dd × Dd = 1/2 (hm, AA, aa) 1/2 (hetero, Aa).
EE × ee = 1/2 (hm, AA, aa) 1/2 (hetero, Aa).

Therefore, the expected proportion of the progeny that will be h-o-mozy-gous for all of the genes is equal to 9/16.
