In humans, there is a gene that controls the formation of muscles in the tongue that allow people with those muscles to roll their tongues, while people who lack those muscles cannot roll their tongues. The ability to roll one's tongue is dominant over non-rolling. Which ratio accurately represents the genotypes of the offspring that would result between two heterozygous rollers? A 1:2:1 C1:1:1:1 B 1:1 O 3:1

Question 1 Given that the passing of alleles into gametes is random, if we observe one gamete (egg or sperm) of an individual at a specific gene/locus: What is the probability that the allele in that gamete is the one from the father of the individual making the gametes? 2. What is the probability that the allele in that gamete is the one from the mother of the individual making the gametes?
Question 6 Albinism is caused by an autosomal recessive allele that interferes with skin pigmentation in mammals. Two normally pigmented human parents already have an albino boy. They plan to continue to have children until they get a girl. Some or all of this information is important for each of the questions below. a) What is the probability that their next child (currently unborn) will be a girl with albinism? Explain your reasoning. b) What is the probability their first female child will be albino? Explain your reasoning. c) The answer to part (b) is different (and, yes, the answer is different) from the answer to part (a). Explain why. (Hint: it has something to do with the underlined words.)
