In humans brown eye color is dominant to blue eye color. Suppose that your mother is homozygous and your father is heterozygous and you have brown eyes. If you have a child with blue eyes, what are the possible genotypes of both of your parents? Group of answer choices Mother bb; Father bb Mother BB; Father BB Mother BB or bb; Father Bb Mother Bb ; Father Bb
Gregor Mendel discovered the basis of heredity with his sweet pea plant experiments. In his studies, he determined that certain traits, such as pod color and pea shape, express complete dominance. Trait Dominant Recessive Pod color Yellow Green Pea shape Round Wrinkled A cross occurs between a plant with heterozygous yellow pods and wrinkled peas and a plant with green pods and heterozygous round peas. What is the probability that the offspring will exhibit recessive genes for both traits? a) 1/2 b) 1/4 c) 1/8 d) 1/16
Professor John decided to breed bunnies during stay-at-home because why not. She performed the following cross:Parents:brown fur, gray nose x white fur, gray noseOffspring:3/8 white fur, gray nose1/8 white fur, white nose3/8 brown fur, gray nose 1/8 brown fur, white noseBased on the phenotypes of the offspring, what are the genotypes of the parents? Make sure you define your genotypes (ie B is brown fur, b is white fur)

Given a cross between these two parents: BbCcDDEEFfGgHhjj x BbCcddEeFfGgHHjj where traits B, E, H, J exhibit Mendelian inheritance; C, and F exhibit incomplete dominance; D, and G exhibit co-dominance answer the following: What proportion of the offspring will phenotypically resemble the first parent? What proportion of the offspring will genotypically resemble the second parent? How many phenotypes can be expected from the cross?
In Andalusian fowls, black (BB) and white (bb) individuals are homozygous. When a homozygous black bird (BB) is crossed with a homozygous white (bb) bird offspring are all bluish-gray (Bb).

In 1927, the ophthalmologist George Waaler tested9049 schoolboys in Oslo, Norway, for red-green colorblindness and found 8324 of them to be normal and725 to be color blind. He also tested 9072 schoolgirlsand found 9032 that had normal color vision while40 were color blind.a. Assuming that the same sex-linked recessive allelec causes all forms of red-green color blindness,calculate the allele frequencies of c and C (the allelefor normal vision) from the data for the schoolboys.(Hint: Refer to your answer to Problem 12a.)b. Does Waaler’s sample demonstrate Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium for alleles of this gene? Explain youranswer by describing observations that are eitherconsistent or inconsistent with this hypothesis.On closer analysis of these schoolchildren, Waalerfound that there was actually more than one c allelecausing color blindness in his sample: one kind forthe prot type (cp) and one for the deuter type (cd).(Protanopia and deuteranopia are slightly differentforms of red-green…
A man who can roll his tongue and a woman who cannot roll her tongue have a son who can roll his tongue (R = can roll tongue; r = can't roll tongue). The son is curious about whether his father is homozygous or heterozygous for the tongue-rolling trait. Which of the following facts would allow him to know? Select one: a. His paternal grandfather and his paternal grandmother can both roll their tongues. b. The son's sister is heterozygous for the trait. c. The son's own daughter cannot roll her tongue. d. His father's mother cannot roll her tongue. e. The son's sister is a tongue roller.
In rabbits, agouti fur coat color (C) is dominant to chinchilla (Cch), which is dominant to Himalayan (Ch), which is dominant to albino (c). Determine phenotypic ratio for the cross CCch x CchCh.
A student recently told me that both she and her brother have blue eyes (bb), and that both of her parents are brown-eyed. Using a Punnett square, list the genotypes and phenotypes showing how it’s possible for this to happen.
You decide to breed a pair of guinea pigs, one black and one white. In guinea pigs, black fur is caused by a dominant allele (B) and white is due to homozygosity for a recessive allele (b) at the same locus. Your guinea pigs have seven offspring, four black and three white. What are the genotypes of the parents? Why is there a 1:1 ratio in this cross?
Two pairs of traits are segregating in a cross. Two parents produce 156 progeny that fall into 4 phenotypes. The numbers of offspring in the 4 phenotypes are 89, 31, 28, and 8. What are the genotypes of the two parents?
