Complete a Punnett Square for a male who is heterozygous for the polydactyly, and a female who is homozygous recessive. Polydactyly (having more than 5 fingers) is a dominant trait. Use the letter F and f to fill in the square. a) What is the male's phenotypes? b) What is the female's phenotype? c) What is the percent chance that an offspring will have more than 5 fingers? You must show your work.

Read the following family history and draw a pedigree to determine the inheritance pattern for achondroplasia. Once the pedigree is assembled , label the genotypes of each individual using a capital "A to represent the dominant allele and a lower case "a " to represent the recessive allele and create a key to identify which version is the achondroplasia allele. If you are unsure of the genotype , label the individual with a "" in place of the unknown allele. Family History : Jada and Noel , both of short stature, have been married for twenty years. They have three children : an eighteen - year-old boy named Shawn , of short stature ; a fifteen- year- old boy named John , of short stature ; and a twelve -year -old girl named Ann , of average height Noel and Jada also had a male child bom with severe achondroplasia who died six months after birth from respiratory failure .
