In domestic cats, the dominant allele A encodes pigmented fur and the recessive allele a encodes white fur. Two cats with Aa genotypes have a litter of kittens. For each kitten, what is the probability that the kitten has pigmented fur? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett square.

In humans, the alleles for unattached earlobes is dominant over the allele for attached earlobes. The allele for dark hair dominates the allele for light hair. If both parents are heterozygous for earlobe attachment and hair color, what types of offspring can they produce, and what is the probability for each type?
using a Punnett square, what will the offspring look like when the parents are Bb and Bb. B = dominant black hair and b = recessive blue hair. So what percentage of the offspring will have black hair vs blue hair?
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?
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 guinea pigs, an allele for rough fur (R) is dominant over an allele for smooth fur (r), and an allele for black coat (B) is dominant over an allele for white fur (b). What would be the genotype of a guinea pig with smooth black fur?
In guinea pigs, the allele for short hair is dominant. If all the guinea pigs are born short haired what are the possible genotypes of the parents? (There are two possible combinations.) Show the answers with punnett square
In humans, hair color and structure are determined by two independent pairs of genes. The dominant gene T determines dark hair color, and the recessive allele t - light hair; The dominant gene S determines the formation of curly hair, and its recessive allele t - straight hair. What kind of hair will the children have if the mother has light, straight hair, and the father has dark, curly hair (one of the pairs of traits is heterozygous for both parents)?
In humans, the genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele (a). The normal (healthy) allele is dominant (A). What is the genotype of someone who has cystic fibrosis? What are the two different genotypes that a healthy person could have? If two people were both heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis gene, what fraction of their children would be likely to have this disease? Hint: Draw a Punnett square to figure it out.
Skin color in humans is determined by polygenic inheritance, which means the more dominant alleles there are, the darker the skin color will be. A medium-toned skinned woman (AaBb) has a child with another medium-toned skinned man (AaBb). What is the probability of them having a very dark-toned skinned child? (Hint: the genotype is homozygous dominant)
For any gene with a dominant allele A and recessive allele a, what proportions of the offspring from an AA × Aa cross are expected to be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, and heterozygous?
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
In basic eye color in humans, brown (B) is dominant to blue (b). A brown-eyed man, whose father was brown-eyed and whose mother was blue-eyed, married a blue-eyed woman whose father and mother were both brown-eyed' The couple has a blue-eyed son. For which of the individuals mentioned can you be sure of the genotypes? What genotypes are possible for the others?
