Can anyone help out with this genetics question?:

In a cross between AaBbCc and AaBbcc, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to be A_bbcc?
3/64
3/32
3/16
3/8

The answer is 3/32. Can someone explain how to get this answer?

Thanks...

do punnett square for each and multiply. Aa x Aa --> prob of getting any big A allele is 3/4. Bb x Bb --> prob of bb is 1/4 and Cc x cc --> prob of cc is 1/2.

3/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 is 3/32.
