In humans, the ability to smell hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is inherited as a recessive trait (h = can smell HCN, H = cannot smell HCN). A woman, a man, and their biological child are all standing in a room. The child can smell the HCN but the parents cannot. 1.) What is the genotype of the child? 2.) What are the possible phenotypes of the parents

Explain whether or not these two parents could possibly produce a color blind child, who could not taste PTC paper, and has blood type A? What blood types could the children of this couple possibly have? How many phenotypically different "kinds" of children could this couple produce? List a maximum of eight phenotypes. Sorry for asking so many questions but they are related. Please I need your help in a few minutes.
If eye color was controlled by the number of genes indicated, how many possible genotypes would there be? 5 genes, 10 genes? 20 genes?
Has the DNA sequence of the eye color gene been changed in part (b) compared with part (a)? How do we explain the phenotypic difference?
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
Two normal visioned parents have a color-blind son. What are the genotypes of the parents?
Color-blindness (c) is a sex-linked recessive trait, while normal color vision (C) is dominant: If two normal-visioned parents have a color-blind son, what are the parent's genotypes? ~What are the chances that their children will be color-blind?
If you cross a female carrier of color blindness with a normal male, what are the chances of having a color blind male?
In humans, having freckles is dominant to not having freckles. What is the phenotype of a homozygous recessive?
For a recessive condition, two normal heterozygous individuals have children. What is the likelihood of their children being affected by this condition? What is the likelihood of their children being carriers without the condition? What is the likelihood of their asymptomatic children being carriers? Suppose that an individual with the condition has children with a heterozygous individual, what is the likelihood of their children being carriers?
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?
Raedwald is color blind. His four sisters and his parents all have normal color vision. Who passed this condition on to Raedwald, and what can be said for certain about the genotypes of his maternal and paternal grandparents?
In humans, the gene for albinism (a) is recessive to the gene for normal skin pigmentation (A). If two heterozygous persons have children, what is the probability they will have a child who is an albino? What is the probability they will have a child that is a carrier of the recessive gene?
