You are interested in tracking inheritance of a suite of traits in the blue-footed booby (Sula nebouxii), a bird that is native to Pacific Coast of North, Central, and South America. You cross a male with the genotype AAbbCcDd with a female with genotype aabbCcDd. What is the expected probability of each of the following scenarios? Show all work to receive full credit. (2 points each for 10 total points) (a) chick that exhibits a dominant phenotype at all four loci (b) a chick that exhibits a phenotype like its father (c) a chick that exhibits a phenotype like its mother (d) a chick that exhibits a dominant phenotype at the first three loci, and a recessive phenotype for the last one (e) a chick that exhibits a recessive phenotype at all four loci
