C.
1/16
D.
1/32

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The frequency of getting AABBCC individuals from a mating of two AaBbCc individuals is 1/64.
The parents with genotype AaBbCc X AaBbCc gives 64 offsprings with different genotypes, but only 1 individual will have all dominant genes i.e. AABBCC.
Genotype frequency in a population is the number of individuals with a given genotype divided by the total number of individuals in the population.
