If a dominant allele of one gene, a, is necessary for hearing in humans, and the dominant allele of another gene, b, results in deafness regardless of the presence of other genes, what fraction of offspring in a pairing of aabb and aabb individuals will be deaf?

The correct genotypes of the parents are AaBb and Aabb

In a cross of these two genotypes presented in the image below, 5/8 of the offspring would be deaf.
The individuals marked with a red square would be deaf because of the recessive aa alleles and the rest of the progeny that is marked with green would be deaf because of the presence of the B dominant allele.

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
