1) having dimples D is dominant over not having dimples d. A dimples woman whose father had no dimple and whose mother did have dimples marries a man whose mother had no dimples, whose whose father had no dimples and whose grandparents on his father's side did have dimples. What is the genotype of the woman what is the genotype of the man   2) Deafness in cocker spaniels is inherited.The allele for deafness is recessive to the allele for normal hearing. Two cocker spaniels with normal hearing are mated together. They produce a little of eight puppies, two of which are found to be deaf.  Give the genotype of the parent. How many of the puppies will be unable to produce deaf offspring

Introduction 

Dominant refers to an allele that masks the effect of a recessive allele when both are present in an individual. If an individual has a dominant allele, it will be expressed and the individual will display the associated trait.

Recessive refers to an allele that is masked by a dominant allele and can only be expressed if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. If an individual has only one copy of the recessive allele, they will display the trait associated with the dominant allele.
