In sex-linked inheritance, if a colour blind man mates with a heterozygous woman, what is the expected ratio of phenotypes among the offsprings? normal female : heterozygous female : normal male : colour-blind male (1 : 1:1:1) normal female : normal male : colour-blind male (2 :1:1) normal female : heterozygous female : normal male ( 1:1:2) heterozygous female: colour blind female: normal male: colour-blind male (1: 1: 1: 1)

Define polygenic inheritance. Why does polygenicinheritance sometimes allow parents to produce offspringthat are notably different in skin color than either parent?
Identical twins are produced from the same sperm and egg (whichsplits after the first mitotic division), whereas fraternal twins areproduced from separate sperm and separate egg cells. If two parentswith brown eyes (a dominant trait) produce one twin boy with blueeyes, what are the following probabilities?A. If the other twin is identical, he will have blue eyes.B. If the other twin is fraternal, he or she will have blue eyes.C. If the other twin is fraternal, he or she will transmit the blueeye allele to his or her offspring.D. The parents are both heterozygotes.
Huntington's disease is caused by a autosomal dominant that is lethal in embryos in the homozygous dominant conditionIf one of your parents has the disease and the other does notwhat is the probability that you will develop the disease? assume if you inherit the Huntington's gene you will get the disease)? 1/4 0 1/2 3/4
A cross between two plants that both have yellowflowers produces 80 offspring plants, of which 38have yellow flowers, 22 have red flowers, and 20have white flowers.
