A polygenic trait is controlled by 3 genes A, B and C. In a cross AaBbCc x AaBbCc, the phenotypic ratio of the offsprings was observed as 1 : 6 : m : 20 : m : 6 : 1. What is the value of m?

A) 10 B) 15
C) 18 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 15

Explanation:

Here crossing is AaBbCc x AaBbCc

As it is trihybrid cross,

we know, Number of zygotes formed = 4n, where n = 3

43 = 64

Given ratio of offsprings = 1 : 6 : m : 20 : m : 6 : 1

Now,  1 + 6 + m + 20 + m + 6 + 1 = 64

34 + 2m = 64

2m = 30

=> m = 15.
