A woman with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes gives birth to fraternal twins; the father has dark brown skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. One twin has blond hair, brown eyes, and light skin, and the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. What Mendelian law does this real-life case illustrate and explain what this means in terms of the inherited alleles for these genes?
Albinism in humans is inherited as a simple recessive trait.Determine the genotypes of the parents and offspring for the following families. When two alternative genotypes are possible,list both.(a) Two parents without albinism have five children, four withoutalbinism and one with albinism.(b) A male without albinism and a female with albinism havesix children, all without albinism.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait. A three-generation pedigree is shown below for a family that carries the mutant allele for cystic fibrosis. Note that carriers are not colored in to allow you to figure out their genotypes.      Normal allele =  F      CF mutant allele =  f        What is the genotype of individual #13?
