6. Everyone in Squidward's family has light blue skin, which is the dominant trait for body color in his hometown of Squid Valley. His family brags that they are a "purebred" line. He recently married a nice girl who has light green skin, which is a recessive trait. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if Squidward and his new bride had children. Use B to represent the dominant gene and b to represent the recessive gene. A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children. B. What are the chances of a child with light blue skin? % C. What are the chances of a child with light green skin? D. Would Squidward's children still be considered purebreds? Explain!

4.) A man and a woman have a child. The father is blood type A, and one of his parents was blood type A and the other was blood type O. The mother is blood type B, and one of her parents was blood type B, the other type O. Both the father and the mother are carriers of the Bombay allele. (Neither of the type-O grandparents were type O because of the Bombay allele – they had the regular type O genotype.) WhataretheoddsthattheirbabywillhavebloodtypeO? WhataretheoddsthattheirbabywillhavebloodtypeAB? (Hint – for this question, you should draw out a pedigree and fill in as much as you can for the genotypes of BOTH genes that are involved.)
7. The ability to roll your tongue (R) is dominant to lack of this ability (r). A. What is the genotype of a man who can roll his tongue if his father couldn’t? B. If a man who is heterozygous for tongue rolling marries a woman who is heterozygous, what would you predict for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children?
3) The ability to curl ones’ tongue up on the sides (T) is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue (t). a. A woman who can roll her tongue marries a man who cannot. The first child has the same phenotype as the father, what are the genotypes of the mother, father, and this child? b. What is the probability that the second child won’t be able to roll it’s tongue?
1. An albino man whose parents are both normal marries a woman ome of whose parents is normal and the other albino. She has an albino sister. The couple has a normal son. a.Is albinism a dominant or a recessive trait? Explain your answer B. Give genotypes of all the persons involved. C.The couple plans to have more kids. What is the probability of their second child being normal
2) A researcher crossed a heterozygous yellow seed plant (Yy) and a recessive green seedplant (yy). Draw a Punnett Square and determine the genotype and phenotype ratios ofthe offspring.
6. Consider that people with blue eyes must have two alleles for blue eyes since blue eye color is a recessive trait. A blue-eyed person and a brown-eyed person have an offspring with blue eyes. The brown-eyed person must A. have two alleles for blue eyes. B. have two alleles for brown eyes. C. not have the dominant brown eye allele. D, have one allele for blue eyes and one allele for brown eyes.
1.Which among the following statements is INCORRECT? A.Phenotype is the pair of genes that carries the genetic makeup of an organism B.Homozygous is a combination of two dominant or two recessive allele C.A recessive allele must be received from both parents to bring about a recessive phenotype D.Heterozygous is a combination of one dominant allele and one recessive allele
1) Suppose thatt everyone in your family (bloodline) has attached earlobes. Do you know with certainty what your gentype is? a) Your spouse also has attached earlobes, but both your children have unattached earlobes. What is your genotype, and what is your spouse's genotype?
3. A student states, “If a person expresses the dominant trait for eye color, then the person’s genotype must be BB.” Is the student correct? Explain why or why not. Assume that the B allele is dominant, and the b allele is recessive.)
4. Mr. Salazar has Type A blood while Mrs. Salazar has Type B. They have four children. Bobbie has Type A, Gabbie has Type B, Alex has Type AB, and Teddie has Type O. What are the genotypes of all six people in this family? NOTE: The ABO blood type gene has three alleles. IA and IB are codominant; i (for Type O) is recessive to both.
2. The common grandfather of two first cousins has hereditary hemochromatosis, a recessive condition causing an abnormal buildup of iron in the body. Neither ofthe cousins has the disease nor do any of their relatives.a. If the first cousins had a child, what is the chancethat the child would have hemochromatosis?Assume that the unrelated, unaffected parents ofthe cousins are not carriers.b. How would your calculation change if you knewthat 1 out of every 10 unaffected people in the population (including the unrelated parents of thesecousins) was a carrier for hemochromatosis?
4)If an individual is bald, so you can't tell whether or not they have a widow's peak, but neither parent has a widow's peak, which genotypes are possible? a)Group of answer choices b)Homozygous recessive c)Homozygous dominant d)Heterozygous e)Unable to determine
