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?

A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
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?
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 short fingers is dominant over that for long fingers. If a person with short fingers had one parent with long fingers and marries a person with long fingers, what are the chances for each biological child to have short fingers?. Show a punnet square.
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?
A cross between an orange-brown male and a homozygous black female produce four kittens. What is the phenotypic probability of the offspring? probability of the offspring?
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)?
If someone with auburn hair has children with someone with red hair (but whose mother had black hair), what are the genotype and phenotype probabilities for their children?
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?
The presence of freckles is a dominant trait. Cross a heterozygous freckled man with a nonfreckled woman. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring?
In humans, the allele for brown eye color (B) is dominant to blue eye color (b). If two heterozygous parents produce children, what are the following probabilities? **Note, this problem way over simplifies eye color, which is influenced by at least eight different genes. a. A total of four children, two with blue eyes and the other two with brown eyes. b. The first child has blue eyes, and the next two have brown eyes.
