3. A couple, a foreigner father and mother, had a son with a trait of having a cleft chin and dimples. However, his mother did not have those traits that is why the child do not want to acknowledge her. Prove to the child whether he is adopted or not? Give the scientific reason to your answer. Search the internet if the traits were dominant or recessive. Show your solutions.

3. A couple just had a baby, who has type-O blood. Upon learning the baby’s blood type, the father becomesinfuriated and accuses the mother of cheating on him. The mother has type-A blood and the father has type-Bblood. Knowing that the allele for type-O is recessive, answer the following questions.a. What is the relationship between the IA, IB, and i alleles?b. Is the father right? Or is he falsely accusing the mother? Explain. Include the genotypes of the parentsand the genotypes of their potential children.
3)Is a recessive trait always bad or detrimental? Include an example to illustrate your answer.
2.In dogs, there is a hereditary deafness caused by a recessive allele, d. A kennel owner has a male dog that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can hear, but the owner is unsure of the genotype. She does a testcross (crosses it to a homozygous recessive dog), and two of the five offspring are deaf. This means that the male dog A.has the genotype DD B.has the genotype Dd C.is still of unknown genotype since there were offspring of both deaf and hearing phenotypes. D.has the genotype dd
