Mid-digit hair is the genetic condition that allows for hair to grow on the middle segment of fingers in humans; this is a dominant condition. Knowing this, if a homozygous recessive male mates with a heterozygous female. Create the punnet square, state the probabilities and percentages of what all possible offspring are.
A cross between an orange-brown male and a homozygous black female produce four kittens. What is the phenotypic probability of the offspring?
probability of the offspring?
Suppose the mating had occurred between homozygous recessive male for a disease and a normal female known to be heterozygous. What would the probabilities be for the following outcomes? 3 offspring in the following order: normal, with disease, normal
Use the factorial equation
n!/x!(n-y)! * (p)x (q)n-x
n = number of events (offspring)
x = number of normal / dominant offspring
n-y =total - number of abnormal / recessive offspring
p = probability of producing a normal/dom
q = probability of producing an abnormal/rec

- In dogs, a dominant gene (1) determines white coat, and a recessive gene (i) gives colored coat. In the presence of ii the coat color is black due to the dominant gene B, or brown due to the recessive gene b. Two dogs both having the Bbli genotype were mated. Answer the following questions and show complete solutions to support your answers. Use the branching method whenever applicable. What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
