Question
Based on the data in Table 1, which individual(s) is/are heterozygous? Select all that apply
 
a) B IV-8
b) C IV-3
c) B IV-9
d) A IV-3
Table 1. shows DNA sequences from a short region of DNA on chromosome 2 (by the lactase gene). Because each
individual has two copies of chromosome 2 (one from each parent), each table includes two DNA sequences per
person. Individuals are identified by generation number and individual number. For example, Individual BIV-4 is
Individual 4, Generation IV in Family B. Use the pedigrees to determine the phenotype of each individual.
