Congenital deafness in humans is due to the homozygous condition of either of the recessive genes d or e, or both of these genes.Both dominant D and E are necessary for normal hearing.Gene D/d affects the middle ear, while gene E/e affects the inner ear.It does not matter how good the normal inner ear (as indicated by E__) is; if there is something wrong in the middle ear, the individual is unable to hear.The same applies for the other gene.Give the phenotypic results of the following crosses: (a) Dd EE * Dd EE (b) Dd Ee *Dd Ee (c) dd EE * DD ee (d) Dd EE *Dd ee (e) Dd EE * DD Ee
