When AaBbCc is self-fertilised (genes unlinked, complete dominance), what fraction of offspring show all three dominant traits?

Correct answer B. 27/64

Explanation

P(dominant phenotype) for each gene = 3/4, so for three genes (3/4)³ = 27/64. This equals 27 out of 64 equally likely combinations of gametes.
