In humans, "unattached" earlobes are dominant over "attached" earlobes. "Widows peak" hairline is dominant over "non-widows peak" hairline. Use E and e for the earlobe phenotype alleles, and W and w for the hairline phenotype alleles. A female and a male, both with genotype EeWw have a child. What is the probability it will be a boy, and have attached earlobes and a widows peak hairline?

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?
The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.
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)
In humans, free ear lobes (E) is dominant over attached ear lobes (e), and brown eyes (B) is dominant over blue eyes (b). A man with free ear lobes and brown eyes married a woman with attached ear lobes and brown eyes. Of four children, one has free ear lobes and brown eyes, one has free ear lobes and blue eyes, one has attached ear lobes and brown eyes, and one has attached ear lobes and blue eyes. Determine the genotypes of both parents.
Assume that hair color, hair line, and skin tone in humans are different traits that are controlled by independently-assorting genes. Brown hair (B) is dominant to blond hair (b), a widow’s peak (W) is dominant to a straight hairline (w), and freckles (F) are dominant to no freckles (f). What is the likelihood that the child of a BBWwff person and a bbwwFF person will have: brown hair, a widow’s peak, and freckles? There is no missing information, just have to set up the punet square and I'm not sure how to do all traits.
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?
In guinea pigs, rough coat is dominant (R) to smooth coat (r), and black coat (B) is dominant to white coat 9. (b). A rough black guinea pig bred with a rough white one produces 29 rough black offspring, 31 rough white offspring, 11 smooth black offspring, and 9 smooth white offspring. Give the genotypes of the parents, the probability for the offspring, and the actual number of each kind of offspring you would expect. Genotype of the rough, black parent? Genotype of the rough, white parent? Genotypes Phenotypes What is the probability of getting rough, black offspring? What is the probability of getting rough, white offspring? What is the probability of getting smooth, black offspring? What is the probability of getting smooth, white offspring? Of the 80 offspring that were produced, we might have expected how many of them to be rough and black? Of the 80 offspring that were produced, we might have expected how many of them to be rough and white? Of the 80 offspring that were…
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 human beings, the gene for red‑green colorblindness (r) is sex‑linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal‑visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind man whose mother was nonfreckled. What is the genotype of the woman's father? What is the probability that the couple's first child will be a non-freckled, normal visioned girl? What is the probability that the first two children born to the couple will be freckled and colorblind girls?
