For a tetrahybrid cross between individuals that are heterozygous for all four genes, and in which all four genes are sorting independently and in a dominant and recessive pattern, what proportion of the offspring will be expected to be homozygous recessive for all four alleles ? What proportion of the offspring will be expected to have the dominant phenotype at all four loci?

Answer #1

In tetrahybrid cross the proportion of homozygous recessive will always be 1. I.e 1 out of 256 progeny will have all four Gene's in recessive state.

The proportion of offspring with all dominant phenotype at all for loci will be 81 out of 256.
