Based on the data, which trait do you think is dominant versus recessive? Explain the information you used to help you determine this. Based on your answer, how would you write the genotypes of the original parental generation for this cross?
The bird species described in question 5 has an ornamental plumage on its head.  The plumage feathers are either flexible or stiff.  The allele for flexible plumage is dominant over the allele for stiff plumage. A male who is heterozygous for plumage and has silver-tipped wings mates with a female who has stiff plumage with silver-tipped wings. What types of offspring would be expected from this cross? Give the probability of each.
Below is a pedigree of a rare human genetic disease in which stricken individuals are solid-colored. After you decide what kind of inheritance this is (note the grandparents), apply the laws of probability and calculate the probability the offspring of the cousin marriages a) 2 × 3 will have the disease.         1/2     1/4     1/8     1/16     2/3
