Assume that curly hair (C) is dominant to straight hair. Albinism (P ) is recessive to normal skin pigmentation. A woman who is heterozygous for curly hair and albinism has a child. The father is homozygous dominant for curly hair and has albinism. (a) Determine the possible phenotypes for their child. (double-crossing, Punnet square) (how to display the traits) (b) Calculate the four different probabilities of a child being both a male and of each phenotype. (steps in solving this) (c) What is the probability that the child will express albinism and have curly hair like his father? (steps in solving this)
