The allele for albinism ( c ) is recessive to the allele for normal pigmentation ( C ). A normally pigmented woman whose father is an albino marries an albino man whose parents are normal. They have three children, two normal and one albino. Give the genotypes for EACH person listed.
A couple named Bob and Brené have 2 children: Angela (female) and Arnold (male). Arnold has sickle cell anemia, a disorder that arises from two recessive alleles of the beta globin gene.Genetic tests have revealed that Bob’s father Denzel has the recessive allele, but Bob’s mother Diane does not. Brené’s father Charlie does not have the recessive allele and her mother Candie was never tested, so we don’t know her genotype.A) Draw out the pedigree for this family and indicate each person’s name. Write out all the possible genotypes for each person (use “A” to represent a dominant allele of the gene and “a” to represent a recessive allele of the gene) and the probability that each person is each of those genotypes.
Which of the following defines a genotype?

Which statement about genotype and phenotype is FALSE? Phenotype is determined solely by genotype. Genotype consists of hereditary information, whereas phenotype is the physical and biochemical expression of genotype, influenced by the environment. The same genotype may produce different phenotypes. The same phenotype may result from different genotypes.
