Two people are planning to have children together. Each person is heterozygous for the gene “G”. Using this letter, first list all the possible gametes that the two people can produce. Next, write all the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their offspring, using the correct genetic terminology (e.g., “genotype is homozygous dominant” “phenotype is dominant”). HINT: Use the gametes to construct a Punnett square and predict the possible offspring (you do not need to include the Punnett square in your answer

The man denied it claiming that her current boyfriend was the father. The court ordered a blood test (cheaper than DNA testing) to see if he could be ruled out as the father.

- Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait. What is the probabilitu they will have a child with severe SCA?What is the probability they will have a child with mild SCA? What is the probability they will have a normal child?
