a)    How many different genotypes will occur in the F2 generation?

b)   What proportion of the F2 genotypes will be homozygous dominant for all 6 loci?

c)    If the initial cross occurred between AAbbccDdEeFf X AabbccddeeFF, would you change your answer to a and/or b? Explain and assume the 6 loci are labelled A through F.
