Students have asked these similar questions
Two parents learn they are each carriers for Cystic Fibrosis, each having the genotype (Aa).
Using a punnett square, perform a genetic cross to determine the probability that their children will inherit two recessive alleles and have Cystic Fibrosis (aa).
In your answer, explain the probability using either percentages (%) or odds out of 4 (1/4, 3/4, etc).
Assume that two parents with normal vision have a son who has red-green color blindness. Which parent is responsible for the son’s color blindness?
a. the mother
b. the father
c. either parent
d. None of these are correct
a)recessive epistasis
b)duplicate recessive epistasis
c)normal non-allelic gene interaction
d)normal allelic gene interaction
