In a certain breed of dogs, a gene (L) codes for hair length. The dominant trait is short hair and the recessive is long hair. Suppose a heterozygous female dog and a homozygous recessive male dog mate. What is the male dog’s genotype and the female dog’s genotype? What is the male dog’s phenotype and the female dog’s phenotype? What will be the genotypic ratio for the offspring from these dogs? What will be the phenotypic ratio for the offspring from these dogs?

In humans, brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes, and the ability to roll your tongue is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue. If a mother who was heterozygous for eye colour and homozygous recessive for tongue rolling had a baby with a father that was heterozygous for both traits, what is the probability that their child would have blue eyes and could roll their tongue?
In humans, the allele for brown (B) eye color is dominant to the allele which causes blue (b) eyes. If a brown-eyed man, whose father had blue eyes marries a brown-eyed woman and the first baby of this couple has blue eyes, answer: What is the genotype of the man? What is the Genotype of the woman? What is the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratio among all possible children?
If a trait is X-linked recessive, who would express the trait? A) females homozygous for the dominant allele and males hemizygous for the recessive allele B) heterozygous females and males hemizygous for the dominant allele C) females homozygous for the recessive allele and males hemizygous for the recessive allele D) females homozygous for the recessive allele and males hemizygous for the dominant allele E) the same proportions of females and males
In genetics, what does a genotype of Hh signify? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A Homozygous; two dominant alleles (Choice B) B Homozygous; two recessive alleles (Choice C) C Heterozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allele (Choice D) D Homozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allele
If a trait is X-linked dominant, who would express the trait? A) females homozygous for the dominant allele and males hemizygous for the recessive allele B) heterozygous females and males hemizygous for the dominant allele C) females homozygous for the recessive allele and males hemizygous for the recessive allele D) females homozygous for the recessive allele and males hemizygous for the dominant allele E) significantly more females than males
In this family tree, individuals with the trait are shown in black. Circles represent biological females. Squares represent biological males. Is the trait dominant or recessive? Explain your answer. Is the trait sex-linked? Explain your answer.
A is a dominant gene for normal pigment, and a is its recessive allele for albinism (and pink eyes). B is a dominant gene for brown eyes, and b is its recessive allele (blue). What is the mother's genotype if two brown-eyed parents have fraternal twins, one with blue eyes and one with pink eyes (albino)? a. AaBb b. AaBB c. aaBb d. aabb e. AABB
In Vulcans, black hair and pointy ears are dominant traits. Pollar has black hair but rounded ears. Damak, his mate, has red hair and pointed ears. Their first child, T’Pal, has red hair and rounded ears. Their second child, Spock, has black hair and pointed ears. Use EE or Ee for pointed ears and BB or Bb for black hair and answer the following: What is Pollar’s genotype? Group of answer choices a. BbEe b. Bbee e. BBee d. BBEe
The allele for hitchhiker’s thumb (h) is recessive to straight thumb (H). If a man and his wife are both homozygous recessive, will any of their offspring potentially have hitchhikers thumb? What is the man’s genotype and the woman’s genotype? What is the man’s phenotype and the woman’s phenotype? What genotype(s) must the offspring have in order to have the phenotypic trait of hitchhiker’s thumb? Do a cross to determine all potential hitchhiker’s thumb genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman. Is it possible for any offspring of the F1 generation to have hitchhiker’s thumb?
In Labrador dogs, coat color is controlled by the genotypes of two genes. In one gene, the dominant allele, B, produces black fur, and the recessive allele, b, produces brown fur. However, if a second gene possesses two recessive alleles, ee, the dog produces yellow fur, regardless of the genotype of the first gene. If two dogs that are heterozygous for both genes, BbEe mated, what would be the frequency of the three phenotypes, black, brown, and yellow?
In aliens, blue skin is dominant and green skin is recessive. Round bodies are dominant and square bodies are recessive. An alien who is heterozygous for both characteristics is mated with another alien who is purebred for both recessive traits. What is the percent chance of having blue, square-bodied offspring?
IN TRANSYLVANIA, SOME PEOPLE EXHIBIT TWO UNUSUAL TRAITS IN WHICH THEY HAVE VERY LONG FRONT TEETH AND THE INABILITY TO BE AWAKE WHEN THE SUN IS UP. BOTH OF THESE TRAITS APPEAR TO BE RECESSIVE. IF A WOMAN WHO IS HETEROZYGOUS FOR TEETH AND HOMOZYGOUS NORMAL FOR BEING IN THE SUN MARRIES A MAN WHO HAS BOTH THESE TRAITS, WHAT COULD BE THE PHENOTYPES AND GENOTYPES OF THEIR CHILDREN? USE A PUNNET SQUARE AND SHOW ALL WORK. LIST THE RATIOS FOR THE GENOTYPES AND PHENOTYPES.
