In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. what are the possible genotypes of the children?
There is an autosomal gene in cats that controls whether or not they also have white patches of fur (W = white spots, w= no white spots). Considering this along with the Orange gene (O0 and OB) from the previous question, and how it works, how many possible genotypes (using these 4 alleles) are there for cats that are orange, black, and white (in other words, calico)?

If A and B assort independently in what proportions should the different phenotypes appear in the children
In humans, Widow’s peak (W) is dominant over a continuous hairline (w), and short fingers (F) are dominant over long fingers (f). Two individuals with widow’s peaks and short fingers have a child with a continuous hairline and long fingers. Determine the genotype of the parents.
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
In radishes, color and shape are each controlled by asingle locus with two incompletely dominant alleles.Color may be red (RR), purple (Rr), or white (rr) andshape can be long (LL), oval (Ll), or round (ll). Whatphenotypic classes and proportions would you expectamong the offspring of a cross between two plantsheterozygous at both loci?
In a problem involving albinism (see Problem 4), which of Mendel’spostulates are demonstrated? Problem No. 4 Albinism in humans is inherited as a simple recessive trait.Determine the genotypes of the parents and offspring for thefollowing 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.
The A & B antigens in humans may be found in water-soluble forms in secretions, including saliva of individuals with the genotypes E/E& E/e, but not individuals with the genotype e/e. Thus, the population contains ‘secretors’ & ‘nonsecretors’. A cross was performed between 2 heterozygous secretors, one with type O blood and the second with type AB blood. What phenotypic ratios are expected in their offspring? A) 1/4 type A : 1/4 type B : 1/2 non-secretor B) 3/8 type A : 3/8 type B : 2/8 non-secretor C) 1/2 type A : 1/2 type B D) 3/4 type AB : 1/4 non-secretor
Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to onewith white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only onedominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict theF1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis betweenchromosome pairs is random during meiosis.
In cattle, coat color is controlled by two codominant alleles. One allele produces a red coat, (R), and one produces a white coat, (W). A cow with heterozygous alleles will have a roan coat. In the same breed of cattle not having horns, (N), is completely dominant over the presence of horns, (n). What phenotype and genotypes would be expected from a cross between a roan, horned bull and a hornless red cow that is a carrier for the horned allele. Show the Punnett square
In humans, brown cyes (B) is dominant over blue eyes (b). Teddy has brown eyes, his mother has brown eyes and his father has blue eyes.

No, at least one of his siblings should have brown eyes No, they should be half brown cycs and half blue eycs Yes, because every chld nas a 50% chance of having brown cycs
