Purple Hair is dominant. Blue hair is recessive. One parent is heterozygous; the other parent has blue hair.
A.) What is the probability of them having a blue-haired child?
Black eye (B) is dominant over brown eye (b). A man that is a homozygous dominant black-eyed marries a woman that is a heterozygous black-eyed. The offspring resulted to 50% homozygous black and 50% heterozygous black. If one of their heterozygous children marries another heterozygous partner. Regardless of its gender, what are the genotypes of their children?
a. 25% BB, 50% Bb, 25% bb
b. 50% BB, 25% Bb, 25% bb
c. 25% BB, 25% Bb, 50% bb
d. 0% BB, 75% Bb, 25% bb
In Law of Codominance, a pure line dominant trait crossed with a recessive trait will result to the appearance of both dominant and recessive trait in the offspring. What is the percentage of having a red-haired offspring if the parental genotype is both a heterozygous roan haired? Red hair is a dominant trait and white hair is a recessive trait.
a. 100%
b. 75%
c. 50%
d. 25%
e. 0%
Imagine that a couple is planning to have children. The male is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease and
homozygous dominant for Tay-Sachs. The female is homozygous recessive for Huntington’s disease and heterozygous for
Tay-Sachs. The couple is curious about the possibility and probability of their offspring inheriting Tay-Sachs and/or
Huntington’s. For humans, Huntington’s disease is dominant (H) over the “normal” condition (h), and the “normal”
condition is dominant (T) over Tay-Sachs (t). Complete a Punnett square for this cross and record the probabilities for
genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring as ratios.

- Show the results of a monohybrid cross for the F1 and F2 generation between P generation of a woman who is homozygous dominant for unattached ear lobe with a man who is homozygous recessive for attached ear lobe. Clearly show the cross indicating parent’s sex, genotype and phenotype for each generation.

A woman has a father who is red/green color blind. Her mother's family has a history of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. This woman is apparently healthy with neither color blindness nor muscular dystrophy. She marries a healthy man and they have four sons and two daughters. Half the sons are healthy but color blind, the other half have normal color vision, but have Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. The daughters are both normal.
